A few of Ukrainian banks and companies, including the state power distributor, were hit by a cyber attack on Today 6/26/17 that disrupted some operations, the Ukrainian central bank said.

As a result of these cyber attacks these banks are having difficulties with client services and carrying out banking operations," the central bank said in a statement.

Ukrainian state power distributor Ukrenergo said its IT system had been hit by a cyber attack, but the disruption had no impact on power supplies or its broader operations.

Ukraine has blamed Russia for previous cyber attacks, including one on its power grid at the end of 2015 that left part of western Ukraine temporarily without electricity.

Russia denies carrying out cyber attacks on Ukraine and allegations it has fueled the eastern conflict by supplying rebels with troops and weapons.
