US defense: Russian forces around Ukraine are as ready as they can be

A US defense official is saying that:

• Russian forces arrayed around Ukraine are as ready as they can be
• 80% in forward positions, ready to go
• Putin has assembled near 100% of forces United States believed he would put into position for Ukraine invasion
• United States will do as much as we can as long as we can to monitor Russian troop activity from airspace, but will protect personnel and assets
• Assessment is that Putin is fully prepared for large scale invasion and that is a likely option
• No sense that Ukrainian military communications have been hit by cyber attacks yet
