The U.S. is calling out Russia for a "dramatic rise" in cyber espionage against America. It's part of a veiled threat to the Kremlin: We know what you're doing online. Ever since the U.S. government hit Russia with economic sanctions last year, Russian hackers have started new cyberspying campaigns to steal information from U.S. government agencies and corporations, according to current and former American intelligence officials and cybersecurity experts. Now, American officials are fighting back—by outing the hackers and issuing what some see as veiled threats to Moscow.

Of course since the situation in Ukraine has calmed down, the US is desperate to try to justify (and bully the EU into) continuing sanctions against Russia.

Given the NSA espionage in Europe, Russian espionage in the US would be a very weak argument for sanctions.
"Oh, you say we should do sanctions against countries because of cyber espionage? Are you sure? Really, absolutely sure? Well, then … sorry, but we can't any longer do business with you."

"situation has calmed down"? where the hell do you get your news from? just in the past week there were stories about russian soldiers being active in Ucraine, and the separatists not implementing their obligations from the minsk accord.

The same ghost Russian soldiers that both Kiev and the OSCE have denied are in Ukraine.

I got my news from multiple sides both Russian and Western. And yes, things have definitely calmed down from daily artillery fire, gun fights, tank activity and air raids.
I wouldn't yet plan a vacation there ofcourse.
Oh and, the west tells everyone who wants to hear that the "separatist rebels" (we used to call that sort of thing, the resistance and freedom fighters and such) are not doing their part;
the east tells anyone who wants to listen that Kiev isn't doing their part,
and the boots and observers on the ground fall in line with uninvolved parties saying that both sides are mostly doing what was agreed with limited infractions.

If you don't see BIG HEADLINES in mass media, it doesn't matter that the things are "calmed down".
