The article discusses the actual impact of cyber attacks on the Ukrainian-Russian war. The author challenges the idea that the impact was critical and as significant as expected. In the beginning of the Russian invasion, due to Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure, it was anticipated that the cyber domain might play a crucial role in the conflict. However, after two years of the invasion, it became apparent that although the attacks affected Ukraine, their impact does not seem to be transformative. It was observed that more than 50% of all Russian cyber attacks occurred in the first two months of the invasion and were usually supplementary to military actions. Moreover, the Russian invasion raised questions regarding how to define cyber attacks and the place of those attacks in humanitarian law.
