Read our privacy policy The British and Dutch governments have condemned Russia's "reckless" GRU intelligence service after it was accused of launching a cyberattack on the global chemical weapons watchdog investigating the Salisbury nerve agent attack. "This attempt to access the secure systems of an international organisation working to rid the world of chemical weapons, demonstrates the GRU's disregard for the global values and rules that keep us safe. The NCSC said it was "almost certainly" the GRU behind a "BadRabbit" attack in October 2017 that caused disruption to the Kyiv metro, Odessa airport and Russia's central bank. Delivering a statement on behalf of foreign office minister Alan Duncan, the UK Ambassador to the Netherlands, Peter Wilson, said Russia had "sent officers around the world to conduct brazen close access cyber operations".
