Biden Admin Tries to Keep Panic Alive as Ukraine Says Chance of Russian Invasion ‘Low’Frances Martel 7 Feb 2022
President Joe Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan predicted on Sunday that Russia could once again invade Ukraine “any day now,” shortly before Kyiv once again clarified the odds of such an occurrence were “low.”
The government of President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed frustration and dismay with the White House for weeks in response to apocalyptic predictions that Russian leader Vladimir Putin may invade and annex the entire country of Ukraine. Concerns erupted into an international panic last month after Biden himself claimed he believed Putin would soon invade and his government would not defend its ally Ukraine in the event of a “minor incursion.”
The White House repeatedly cited the upwards of 100,000 Russian troops allegedly amassing on the Russian-Ukrainian border. Zelensky, however, noted the number was not as high as it was a year ago – when no governments or international news outlets expressed any particular concern for Ukraine – and that the “panic,” in Zelensky’s words, was destroying the Ukrainian government and making an invasion more likely.
Russia most recently invaded Ukraine in 2014, illegally occupying the Crimea region and instigating what has become a full war in the eastern Donbas region. Russia openly boasts about colonization of Crimea but claims it plays no role in the Donbas war, despite extensive evidence that pro-Russia separatists receive material arms support from Moscow.
