Russian government websites -- including ones for the Kremlin and the legislature -- went dark after

cyberattacks target Ukraine

Multiple Russian government websites reportedly went down on Thursday after the country launched an attack on Ukraine.

NetBlocks, which tracks disruptions and shutdowns, confirmed on Twitter that multiple sites went offline shortly after 8:45 p.m. local time in Moscow.

The Kremlin's website and that of the Russian Federal Assembly's lower house — or State Duma — were both down for at least 15 minutes. As of 9 p.m. local time, the State Duma website was since restored.

Shortly after 9:10 p.m. local time, the Kremlin's website was also back online.

Our cyber offensive needs to ramp up, expose and manipulate Putin’s and the oligarchs’ foreign bank accounts.
