The fascist Russian government has launched a full scale invasion of Ukraine, a country very close to Europe, which led to the EU and US imposing strict sanctions including a SWIFT block for Russian banks and seizure of Russian assets.
The Ukrainian cybersecurity department is waging war on Russian websites, any and all of them. They've also been really good at (I don't want to call it that, but it is) war propaganda, which got a lot of volunteers to join.
Joining the cyber war is easily done from anywhere in the world, so anyone with any skills is contributing to the defense of a sovereign state that is currently being invaded by fascist Russia.
Nevermind the websites, the EU could see major power outages and severe economic damage, as there is a real possibility of Russia turning off the gas supply to Europe (gas is a fraction of their profits, oil is first by far and even that will be affected) to pressure them into easing restrictions and staying out of the war.
Yeah, it's just that no one really cared until they launched a full scale invasion right at the borders.
Probably even then they wouldn't have cared if not for millions of displaced people heading west. So in the eyes of the EU, it's a bit too close to them.
Hopefully Ukraine is successful and talks about NATO and EU are taken more seriously.
