The Pentagon has called the sanctions which are only the beginning.
The head of the Pentagon Ashton Carter told about a possible response to the Russian cyber attacks during the elections in the United States.
He stated this in an interview with NBC news.
According to Carter, the sanctions imposed by the Obama administration in response to the Russian cyber attacks “are the beginning, not the end of the floor, not the ceiling.”
He stressed that further actions will define the new Congress and the new administration.
“I think we should not limit ourselves to cybermelli, when aggression is carried out by cybermelli. This is partly true. I don’t think it should be a military or a purely military response,” he said.
