Yes I just received Telegraph news
*'Massive' cyberattack hits banks and state websites, Kyiv says. Plus: PM announces extra defensive weapons are being sent to Ukraine*
Evening folks,

Analysts have speculated that cyberattacks on critical infrastructure *could be a precursor to any invasion by Russia*. Live updates, here: https://bit.ly/3LXj51V
?? Meanwhile, the Ukrainian security services accused Russia of mounting a *false bomb threat campaign to 'sow alarm and panic'*, just minutes before a Ukrainian parliament session was due to commence in order to *approve the declaration of a state of emergency* in the country.
?? In the UK, *Boris Johnson announced extra defensive weapons are being sent to Ukraine* as he said further sanctions are in reserve for what could be a *"protracted struggle"*. A number of MPs have urged the PM to toughen the penalties already announced, which affect five banks and three oligarchs. More on our politics liveblog: https://bit.ly/3BL9RRL
