Ukraine continues with mind games ahead of its counteroffensive, and it seems to be working already.

Ukrainian hackers breached Russian TV channels in occupied Crimea Sunday, broadcasting a slickly-produced video hinting at the impending start of Kyiv’s counteroffensive.
Several Ukrainian news outlets reported that broadcasts of the Russian cable channels “Rossiya” and “Friday” were interrupted with a recording from Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, showing Kyiv’s heavily armed troops staring into the camera while holding a finger to their lips.
The enigmatic footage was accompanied by a message in Ukrainian that read: “Plans like silence. There will be no announcement that ‘it’s starting.'”
The clip ended with a shot of two fighter jets soaring in the sky – an apparent nod to Ukraine’s efforts to procure warplanes from its Western allies — and a man’s voice off camera saying: “shhh.”
Ukraine’s national public broadcasting company, known as Suspilne, reported the hack, citing information from a resident in the city of Simferopol in Crimea, according to the Ukrainian outlet Ukrainska Pravda.

UPDATE: And some more fuckery, this time inside Russia, designed to instill panic.
