If you haven't been preparing for state-level attacks from Russia and PRC backed groups, you're already way, way behind the curve.
Case in point, in the Ukrainian blackout attack of 2014, a highly capable group had access and effective control over the SCADA at the control centers and substations for months before selling it to Russian agents who utilized it at their leisure.
If your org/team is waiting for the crisis, it's only luck protecting you.

If you mean "are Russian actors going to start knocking Youtube offline tomorrow" then no, but they have absolutely had active programs and groups operating against EU and US organizations for years. The US and Five-Eyes certainly do as well in the other direction, but to appearances they seem less willing to engage in sabotage of non-military systems and much more interest in mass surveillance.
