Is it possible to easily knock out the internet of a country? I fear that this will be high on the list to stop information reaching Ukranian citizens.
Depends how the internet is delivered. Most people probably rely on fixed phone lines or 4G same as us, so destroying main telephone exchanges shuts off delivery to end users. However, satellite broadband would be harder to disrupt.
