Abstract: The article provides a comprehensive analysis of Russia's cyber capabilities and their implications for global security. As countries around the world become increasingly interconnected through technology, the potential for devastating cyber attacks only continues to rise. While economic and military strength remain important factors in global politics, the ability to adapt and excel in the cyber domain is becoming increasingly crucial for maintaining power and influence. The emphasis on technological superiority and cyber capabilities may ultimately outweigh traditional economic and military advantages in the shaping of global politics.
The case of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine demonstrates the involvement of active cyber intervention, as attacks on energy, communications, mass media, and the private sector were openly displayed. The cyber domain has become a critical battleground for influencing international relations and power dynamics.
