AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Right
Russia's biggest and most well-known airline, Aeroflot, was forced to cancel and delay many dozens of flights on Monday after a major system failure that was later claimed to be the result of a coordinated cyberattack by Ukrainian and Belarusian hacker groups.
If the cyberattack allegations are accurate, this would mark a serious escalation in the spate of sabotage attacks carried out against Russia over the past couple years in the context of the Ukraine war - as such espionage directly targeting a civilian airline company is unprecedented.
