Neuberger warned during a press briefing at the White House that the attacks from Russia this week were in part an effort to prepare more severe cyber attacks that could accompany a <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/02\/17\/joe-biden-believes-russia-invade-ukraine-several-days\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">potential military invasion<\/a>. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/02\/02\/joe-biden-approves-troops-deployments-eastern-europe-russia-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Biden Approves More Troops For Deployment Amid Russia-Ukraine Tensions)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that the Russian government is responsible for widescale cyberattacks on Ukrainian banks this week,\u201d Neuberger told reporters. \u201cWe have technical information that links the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate, or GRU, as known GRU infrastructure was seen transmitting high volumes of communication to Ukraine-based IP addresses and domains.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarlier this week we saw a kind of cyber attack known as a DDoS attack that overloads online services at the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense and state-owned banks.
