US intelligence agencies have offered President Joe Biden options for a "large-scale cyber attack" against Russia, NBC News reported, citing its sources.

And that response will lead to results never encountered in the history of those who might be tempted to interfere in current events.
In addition, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that the Russian armed forces do not carry out any missile, air or artillery attacks on the cities of Ukraine;

The Russian defense indicated that its forces had disrupted the military infrastructure of the Ukrainian air bases, in addition to silencing the Ukrainian air defenses.
She added that the Ukrainian border guards did not show any resistance to the Russian units, adding that nothing threatened the civilian population.
