Introduction
It’s been three days since a cyberattack plunged Ukraine into darkness, leaving it without electricity and heat. The outage happened after the country’s power grid was hit by a cyberattack, with the electricity supply only restored fully on Tuesday. Europe is responding to the crisis. The EU is sending generators to the country. The first emergency generators from Germany arrived on Thursday at the airport in Kyiv.

A cyberattack is malicious software or code that can be spread through the internet, typically to take over a computer or cause damage. It’s been three days since a cyberattack plunged Ukraine into darkness, leaving it without electricity and heat. The government has blamed Russia for carrying out the attack but there has been no official confirmation from Moscow so far.
This is what happened: Shortly after midnight on December 21st, the power went down across Ukraine’s capital Kyiv as well as areas around its eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk where pro-Russian separatists have been fighting against Ukrainian forces since 2014.
The blackout lasted several hours before engineers were able to restore some parts of the grid but by then many businesses had closed up shop because they did not have enough cash on hand for security guards when people tried entering their premises looking for supplies such as food or fuel (the latter being especially crucial during winter).

On December 23, a cyberattack hit the power grid of Ukraine. Electricity supply was interrupted and the country plunged into cold darkness.

Europe is responding to the crisis.
The EU has sent emergency generators to Ukraine, which is plunged into darkness after a power outage.
The first emergency generators from Germany arrived at the airport in Kyiv on Thursday, and other EU countries are expected to send their own equipment soon.
Ukraine also wants to learn from this attack and improve its security measures.

The European Commission has announced that it will send 1,000 generators to Ukraine this month and next. Other countries have also pledged their support, including Germany and Poland.
However, these are not enough for the country’s needs. The EU says it will continue to provide additional resources as needed throughout 2019 until temperatures return to normal levels

The first emergency generators from Germany arrived on Thursday at the airport in Kyiv. They were given to Ukraine by the European Union, which has long been sending aid to help out with these kinds of situations.
The EU has pledged more than $2 billion for Ukraine since Russia’s invasion of Crimea and eastern Ukraine in 2014, but so far only about $300 million has been disbursed. In addition, much of this money was used to pay salaries and pensions for government employees who had lost their jobs because of Moscow’s aggression against its neighbor; as well as paying off debts from businesses owned by oligarchs close to Putin who fled Russia after its annexation of Crimea—and thus escaped any consequences for their actions (whether criminal or not). As such, many Ukrainians have yet another reason why they need help from abroad: electricity needs extra power just so they can get online!
Tens of thousands of Ukrainians have been left without electricity, heating, or internet access.

Ukraine is a former Soviet state that has been under Russian pressure since 2014 when Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula and began supporting separatists in the east of the country. The conflict between both sides has led to a humanitarian crisis, with more than 10 million people displaced within Ukraine and 2 million refugees leaving their homes for other parts of Europe or North America.
Ukraine has been hit by numerous cyberattacks since then; according to experts, these attacks were orchestrated by Russia’s intelligence service (known as FSB) or another government agency such as GRU.
Ukraine faces a full recovery from this attack, but it will take time to learn the lessons
Ukraine has been plunged into darkness, and it will take some time to recover. But there are lessons that can be learned from this attack, and they’re important ones.
- Ukraine needs to repair the damage done to its power grid. The country is already working on building up its defenses against cyberattacks; now it needs to make sure all systems are secure against physical attacks as well.
- It will take time for Ukraine’s power companies—and their employees—to learn from this incident and improve security measures moving forward. In particular, if you have experience with designing or maintaining networks or computer systems, consider volunteering at one of these organizations so you can help prevent future problems like this one from recurring!
- Because many households in Kyiv rely on heating systems powered by diesel generators instead of electric heaters (which require less maintenance), restoring heat may prove difficult without replacing those generators first—which could take several weeks or longer depending upon how quickly supplies arrive from other parts of Europe!
Conclusion
The Ukraine government has vowed not to let this happen again, but they must also improve their cybersecurity to avoid future attacks.
