Let alone the US the security services of nearly any state can take care of this. But no, they want to access and use these services and have plausible deniability and so let them exist and extort others.

I don't think anyone imagines the NSA, the russian or chinese security services do not have the ability to put a stop to this, at least those parts that are in their control.

"...at least those parts that are in their control." And there's the rub! In the article, the author notes that Ukrainian command-and-control is used in the attacks on these western services... and if they were attacking Ukrainian services, they wouldn't locate their command-and-control there.

You've identified an obvious solution and presumed that no-one is pursuing it, in dereliction of the facts.
