In place of the live game, some local Ukrainian media outlets reported that viewers were sent Russian propaganda via a video feed from Russian channel Izvestia, which started running on the Ukrainian TV channels. But minutes before the first whistle, a Ukrainian online platform was hit by a cyberattack and several TV channels including Football 1 & 2, Indigo Ukraine, Ukraine 24, and UA:First - aka Pershyi, were disrupted, according to SSSCIP. On Sunday, Ukraine's football team was playing a decisive match against Wales to qualify for the Football World Cup 2022's main event, to be held in November 2022. The SSSCIP, in a separate statement, reiterated Zhora's sentiment and described these attempts at further destabilizing the situation in Ukraine as using PsyOps - or psychological warfare. "It's one more attempt of Russians to spread propaganda and to interfere with Ukrainian medium and media to seed disinformation with the use of cyberattacks." It is a misinformation warfare tactic employed by Russians, Zhora said. Victor Zhora, deputy head of the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine, or the SSSCIP, stated in a press briefing that the traffic was rerouted to a Russian propaganda-based channel to spread disinformation among Ukrainians.
