I am still hopeful we can avoid war with Russia, but, if war comes a key component will be cyberwar. And we have NEVER fought a cyberwar before. Putin has demonstrated he is not opposed to inflicting civilian casualties to gain his goals.

The information is available. I am not saying it is going to happen, simply making people aware.
One expert retired military expert made the statement that we have already begun a 3rd world war. I am not saying that I agree with that, but I DO notice that many countries are having to pick one side or the other. Democracy or Dictatorship. Poland is a country that was balanced between the West and Russia. But, recent current events have FORCED Poland to choose - and they picked the West. Switzerland joined NATO and likely Finland and Sweden will follow soon.
I understand that Venezuela is lining up with Putin. India is supposedly a Democracy, but are they really? They trade a lot with Russia. And African nations may be deciding now whose side they will be on. It's like children picking up sides for a game only on a Global Scale! On a world population basis, people living under Dictatorships outnumber the free-world population.
The opening rounds of this global tug of war may include cyber-warfare, disinformation, and the creation of chaos and confusion.
