Note that I'm not a solid source here.
1. I experience weird disruptions trying to make calls to the Ukraine cell phone network
2. Techies (who don't want to be named) said it was because the cell network was being DDoSed.
I'm just passing along what little I know.

I do know that while cell providers are supposed to have private links to each other, I know that a lot of traffic ends up going across the Internet backone, so the scenario is plausible (though not proven).
The weirdest thing was a recorded message saying the subscriber wasn't available, in english, but breaking up severely due to disruption on the network, which as I understand it, shouldn't be possible.
I'm also not convinced it's the Russian government, as a lot of hacking from Russia is just partisan supporters of the government, encouraged by the government, but not directed by the government.
