Anonymous issues lengthy statement amid its 'biggest op ever seen'

Anonymous has released a lengthy statement amid its "cyberwar" with Russia.

On Monday, the hacking collective made headlines after claiming to have successfully interfered with Russian news stations and streaming services in order to broadcast footage from the war in Ukraine.

This was just the latest technological strike the group has taken against the nation, after claiming to have "leaked the database of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia", as well as the "database of the Russian Ministry of Defense".

Following its ongoing cyberwar against Putin's nation, the group took to social media to share a lengthy statement about its intentions and goals.

In a Twitter thread to its 7.8 million followers, the group started by writing: "We are #Anonymous.

"We are involved in the biggest Anonymous op ever seen. That being said, we are worried that some governments will indeed see us as a threat and create some scenario to make us look bad (false flag). We only want peace, not war."

In a rather ominous conclusion to its message, the group writes: "Remember us when various powers turn their attention towards us, because it will happen. We can change the world for the better. That has always been the idea.

"Ideas are bulletproof. Signed, #Anonymous".

The infamous cyber group initially voiced support for Ukraine on February 24, revealing that it was "in cyber war against the Russian government."

In a tweet posted hours after Russia invaded Ukraine as part of its "special military operation", the cyber collective wrote: "The Anonymous collective is officially in cyber war against the Russian government."

Since then, the group has been updating its followers with its multiple conquests against Russia, and even sent President Vladimir Putin a chilling video message, which you can see below:

In the clip, the group warns: "The people of the world will resist you every step of the way. This is not a war that you can win, regardless of how powerful you think you are."
