On Monday, President Biden talked up the dangers that Russian "cyber capacity" poses to the United States, and warned that Russia's President Vladimir Putin will be likely to use cyberattacks now that western sanctions over Ukraine have meant that his "back is against the wall".
The US can rest assured that it won't become the victim of Russian cyberattacks, because Moscow does not engage in such activities, the Kremlin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.
"The Russian Federation, unlike many western countries, including the United States, does not engage in banditry at the state level," Peskov emphasised, answering a reporter's question about whether there was any circumstance under which Moscow could see using cyber tools aggressively against unfriendly nations.
Peskov's comments follow remarks made by President Biden on Monday warning that Russian cyberattacks were probably imminent.
"The magnitude of Russia's cyber capacity is fairly consequential and it's coming," Biden said, speaking at a business event in Washington, DC on Monday.
