U.S. intelligence agencies are offering President Joe Biden options to launch an “attack against Russia, including disrupting internet connectivity in Russia, cutting off power and destabilizing railroads to “undermine” Russia’s ability to sustain its military operations in Ukraine. It is reported by the NBC channel.
Two US intelligence officials, one Western intelligence official and another briefed on the matter say no final decisions have yet been made, but the options offered to Biden are sufficient.
"You can do anything from slowing down trains to derailing them, for example," the source said.
Also, US intelligence agencies are separately considering the option of a “large-scale cyber attack” on Russian resources.
“Most of the potential cyber attacks in question are aimed at disruption, not destruction, and therefore are not an act of war by the United States against Russia .... the idea is to harm networks, not people,” — said the source of the channel.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had decided to conduct a military special operation to protect Donbass in response to a request for help from the heads of the LPR and DPR.
Ukraine severed diplomatic relations with Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has submitted a bill on general mobilization to the Verkhovna Rada.
