Ask HN: Is Russia taking down kyivpost.com?

A major Ukrainian media outlet appears to be down. Is Russia behind it? How might you go about investigating this more methodically? I posted the results I gathered when I tried to reach it from a VPS in Poland.

I can't open it (I have 5G internet). I believe they might be DDOSing it.

If it is true, this might be one of the most chilling examples of a modern war, by including "cyber war" as a part of their strategy.

Definitely within the nature of Russia seeing as how much they are involved in everything cyber: https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/23/ukraine_ddos_russia_m...
