Statement from the White House Press Secretary
In June 2017, the Russian military launched the most destructive and costly cyber-attack in history.
The
attack, dubbed “NotPetya,” quickly spread worldwide, causing billions
of dollars in damage across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. It was part
of the Kremlin’s ongoing effort to destabilize
Ukraine and demonstrates ever more clearly Russia’s involvement in the
ongoing conflict. This was also a reckless and indiscriminate
cyber-attack that will be met with international consequences.

(“UGTI”), a company that aims to become a transparent, efficient and
powerful driver of sustainable economic growth and development in
Ukraine.
During his appearance on the show, Mehrle discussed the “NotPetya,”
cyber-attack in great detail and was one of the first high-profile figures to publicly state Russia was responsible
for the attack.

professional, working with banks and international financing
organizations to secure project-related financing. His primary
responsibilities for UGTI include securing the participation and
coordinating collaboration with leading US partners across a variety of
