Was reported earlier on HN (via Krebs) but now confirmed by NYTimes. What is different is this is being spun by the administration as an initiative to bring Russia to the negotiating table. It also says a lot of the offensive operations are being run by the UK and Canada. It's been out long enough that Rubio was asked about this on the Sunday talk shows.

I personally think the administration is trying to rationalize all this to their Republican supporters, and defense hawks, and to cover the fact that this is to appease Putin as Krebs says. On the other hand the Doge efforts are creating massive vulnerabilities in the .gov services.
