Yes, it’s russians again.

I find it concerning that we’re automatically blaming everything on Russia and China with the bare minimum evidence. It greatly reduces scrutiny since it’s assumed we can’t do anything about it. It’s very possible that domestic actors are simply using Russian proxies to mask their activities to avoid being caught. Of course, I’m not saying it’s not the Russians, just that more investigation is necessary and we shouldn’t jump to the obvious conclusions.
We are in a barely hidden war with authoritarians. Days ago putin promised support to mexico if it would attack the us. Due process comes in de hague and Nuremberg.

No problem reading it for me. I’ve noticed some news organizations putting access behind a human verification step (cloudfare), maybe something like that is stopping you
Weird, thanks.

There was a similar programme(cyber.mil.pl) with a very similar budget started during the tenure of the previous government, but considering the recent political upheaval and subsequent corruption investigations supported by evidence in the form of hours of recordings gathered in secret by a now crown witness, that money might have went nowhere.
Time will tell really, as Polish counterintelligence suffered a major blow back in the mid 00s orchestrated by a politician who vehemently opposes accusations of having ties with Russia, but truth be told "the lady doth protest too much, methinks".
