Is there some reason (market share in Ukraine?) why RU would specifically target Kaspersky AV?

If that's so, it would indicate that Kaspersky is not really an arm of the Russian govt. As some would claim.

Maybe. Maybe there's just a good targeting reason for it. It's not US has always avoided targeting its close corporate friends to spy better

Possible. Or possible that Kaspersky's past focus on Equation Group means they're more likely to trigger on coming attractions.
