The Twitter account of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Jagat Prakash Nadda was on Sunday hacked with several tweets asking for donations in cryptocurrency to help Russia and Ukraine.

A now-deleted tweet sought cryptocurrency donations for Ukraine while another tweet, also deleted, was posted saying the account was hacked and the donations are actually for Russia as they are the ones who “need assistance”.

“Stand with the people of Russia. Now accepting cryptocurrency donations. Bitcoin and Ethereum,” the tweet read.

While the account now seems to have been restored, the BJP is yet to issue a clarification on the hacking.

Rajeev Chandrasekhar, minister of state for electronics and technology, told news agency ANI that the government is aware of the hack and the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) is looking into it.

Russia unleashed a wave of attacks on Ukraine targeting airfields and fuel facilities in what appeared to be the next phase of an invasion that has been slowed by fierce resistance. The US and EU responded with weapons and ammunition for the outnumbered Ukrainians and powerful sanctions intended to further isolate Moscow.

Huge explosions lit up the sky early on Sunday south of the capital, Kyiv, where people hunkered down in homes, underground garages and subway stations in anticipation of a full-scale assault by Russian forces.

Flames billowed into the air before dawn from an oil depot near the Zhuliany airport, about 25 miles (40 kilometres) south of the capital, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky’s office and the mayor of the nearby town of Vasylkiv.
