Hackers from several countries launched a massive attack and temporarily
disabled the website of Ukraine's western-leaning President Viktor
Yushchenko, his office said Tuesday. A Russian nationalist group claimed
responsibility.

The attacks from servers in Russia, Britain, Kazakhstan, the United States,
Israel and Ukraine began Sunday night and continued through Tuesday
afternoon, the presidential press service told The Associated Press.

More than 18,000 attacks have been carried out, temporarily blocking access
to the site. The web page could not be accessed Tuesday night.
