The Biden administration is increasingly concerned that Russia could invade Ukraine in the coming days, as Russian President Vladimir Putin shows no sign of de-escalating or engaging in meaningful diplomacy to end the standoff.
President Biden convened a virtual call Friday morning with the leaders of Canada, major European allies, and the heads of NATO and the European Commission to discuss concerns that Russia continues to mass troops and military equipment around Ukraine. While the leaders have universally objected to Putin's military buildup, their views differ on what Putin's intentions are.
American officials again vocalized their concerns on Friday. Traveling in Australia, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said, "We're in a window when an invasion could begin at any time. And to be clear, that includes during the Olympics."
