Tuesday, 23 February 2021 (YJC)_ The US has been preparing to sanction Russia over the SolarWinds hacks.
The US has been preparing to sanction Russia over the SolarWinds hacks and the case of Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.
US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told CBS's "Face The Nation" on Monday that the Biden administration's response to last year's SolarWinds hack "will include a mix of tools seen and unseen", adding that Washington will "ensure that Russia understands where the US draws the line on this kind of activity".
Earlier this month, Anne Neuberger, the US deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technology, reiterated that the US government continues to believe the SolarWinds hacking was "likely of Russian origin".
Russia has repeatedly rejected allegations that it had anything to do with the SolarWinds hacking operation.
