Rep. Katko (R-NY): ‘We need to build our nation’s cyber defenses before it’s too late’

New York Republican, Representative John Katko talked about the dangerous possibility of Russia engaging in cyber-attacks. Katko said even before the war against Ukraine began, everything the United States was doing in an attempt to deter Putin was absolutely not working and not enough.
Katko also divulged that Congress wanted to send lethal aid to the Ukraine even before Putin began any ground assaults, but it was President Joe Biden who “resisted” the notion. Now, says Katko, that the “Genie’s out of the bottle and Russia is in Ukraine” the President is doing a “decent job of ratcheting up the sanctions and trying to tighten the economic impact.”
Katko was then asked about cyber security specifically, saying “we are all concerned” and inquired as to how well equipped the United States and world is to defend itself. “Russia is one of the worst defenders on the world stage for cyber-attacks” said Katko.
As Ranking GOP Member on the Homeland Security Committee, Katko says he has been advocating to build up “our nation’s cyber defenses before it’s too late.”

VIDEO: Russia Moving Missiles Towards Finland Border

Putin has said in recent years that Finland is considered friendly so long as they do not join NATO. Finland’s President Sauli Niinistö confirmed Sunday he has applied for NATO membership.
MetroUK tweeted chilling video and reported the following:
Russia has started moving nuclear-capable missiles towards its border with Finland hours after Moscow vowed not to tolerate Helsinki’s plans to join Nato.
The Kremlin issued a chilling warning that plans for both Finland and Sweden to sign up to the Atlantic alliance were a ‘grave mistake with far reaching consequences’.
Russian deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, said: ‘They should have no illusions that we will simply put up with it,’ and insisted ‘the general level of military tension will rise’.

The video was reportedly taken on a road leading to Vyborg, around 24 miles from the Finnish border, showing the deployment of mobile Iskander missiles.
“Seven launchers are thought to be en route according to commentary on a dash cam video broadcast by Russian media.”
A person on the video can be heard saying: ‘As soon as the president of Finland said they were joining Nato, a whole division of Iskanders, seven of them is moving towards Vyborg.
‘Looks like a new military unit is about to be formed in Vyborg or the region.’
