The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense claims that pro-Ukrainian hacktivists breached the Russian Center for Space Hydrometeorology, aka “planeta” (планета), and wiped 2 petabytes of data.
Erasing data that is used for military reconnaissance in a hostile country is not a crime.
Let me guess, would you approve ukraine burning libraries in russia? It is a hostile country where every single russian is hostile, after all. Libraries are a source of knowledge and knowledge can be used for war. Even educational institutions need to be shut down as they aid in research for war related purposes.
If they set up a military installation inside a library with the purpose of harming Ukraine, then yes. Aside from that, this is a ridiculous comparison.
