NATO announced Friday it planned to deepen cyber cooperation with Ukraine after a sweeping attack knocked out key government websites in Kyiv at a time of mounting tensions between Russia and the West over Ukrainian security.

The announcement comes the same day the United States released intelligence findings suggesting Russia is planning a sabotage operation to create a pretext to invade Ukraine.
