Russian invasion threat
On February 11, Joe Biden , in a conversation with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg , said that a Russian attack on Ukraine could happen “in the coming days.” The American president warned the head of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin, about a “quick response” in the event of an offensive.
Due to the high risk of hostilities, a number of countries called on their diplomats to leave Ukraine.
US presidential adviser Jake Sullivan suggested the same day that the Russian invasion could start with missile strikes , and advised the Americans to follow Biden out of Ukraine within the next 48 hours.
Russia called the US forecasts “escalation of the situation” and “outright disinformation.”
