Watch Live: Biden gives update on situation with Russia and Ukraine
CBSN
President Biden is delivering an update Friday afternoon on U.S. efforts to deter Russia from invading Ukraine, amid reports of increased shelling Friday in the eastern part of the country.
The U.S. has said that Russia is capable of attacking Ukraine any day, even before the Olympic games conclude on February 20. The president also said in an address Tuesday that a Russian invasion of Ukraine "remains distinctly possible," adding that there is yet room for diplomacy.
A White House official said the president isn't expected to make any announcements, and the remarks will be a "straightforward" update on the situation that includes details from a call he's holding with allies Friday. Russia is believed to have increased troops in the region in recent days.
