   It appears as if all the embassy websites in Ukraine have been knocked offline.

   For example here is the French Embassy in Ukraine website in IA's Wayback: https://web.archive.org/web/*/france.mfa.gov.ua which you can see was collected by ArchiveTeam regularly and appears to now be offline? https://france.mfa.gov.ua/

     One of the interesting factors with archiving the Ukraine web that is mentioned in the in passing in the inputmag article is that there are some risks involved in making the information about who is selecting what, and doing the archiving, because it could make them a target for Russian cyberattacks. I think this is a real risk to be honest.
