DDoS usually involves hijacking compromised devices wherever they are, so if the IP addresses were all in Ukraine (which I very much doubt) it could be orchestrated by any organisation/nation with a modicum of technical skill.

Worth noting that Twitter got hit because there was an important part of their network infrastructure that they'd left exposed for no reason at all, but I suppose these things happen when you fire all the smart people
