Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered a halt to U.S. offensive cyber operations against Russia as President Trump seeks to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war on terms favorable to Moscow.
The decision comes as Russia has intensified its own cyber activities against Ukraine and NATO allies. The move has raised concerns among U.S. officials and allies about the potential weakening of deterrence against Russian cyber threats. The halt reportedly took place ahead of a key meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Finally, some common sense from the U.S. for once! Trump understands that diplomacy is the way forward, not pointless cyber warfare that only escalates tensions.
