It's a "cyberattack," says Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as his translation equipment breaks down during a Munich Security Conference appearance, making a joke about repeated online attacks against his country amid tensions with Russia.

"You see, Russia is not here, but they're here," he jokes, referring to Russia's decision not to send a delegation to this year's conference.
