Biden to give Ukraine update as Russia adds troops
By Alex Gangitano - 02/18/22 11:44 AM EST

President Biden will give an update on the situation in Russia and Ukraine on Friday, after warning that Russian could invade Ukraine in the next several days.

“In the afternoon, the President will give an update on our continued efforts to pursue deterrence and diplomacy, and Russia’s buildup of military troops on the border of Ukraine,” the White House announced.

Remarks are scheduled for 4 p.m. Eastern at the White House.

Right before his remarks, Biden will speak to NATO allies about Russia’s buildup of military troops on the border of Ukraine and efforts toward diplomacy. The call is the latest in weeks of diplomatic engagements between Biden administration officials and European allies about Russia-Ukraine tensions.

Vice President Harris is in Germany on Friday for the Munich Security Conference and met with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on the sidelines, during which she warned Russia would face “severe consequences” if it invades Ukraine.

Michael Carpenter, the U.S. envoy to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, said Friday that the OSCE has found evidence that 169,000 to 190,000 Russian troops are now at the border, compared to the around 100,000 thought to be in the region on Jan. 30.

Russia "seeking to set up a false justification to act against Ukraine," according to @POTUS
, but the Ukrainians have refused to allow the Russians "to bait them into war."

"We believe they will target Kyiv," Biden says outright about Russia's plans -- says US believes it could happen "in the coming days."

"Russia can still choose diplomacy," Biden says after warning that the US believes Russia will attack Ukraine within days. "It is not too late to de-escalate and return to the negotiating table."

POTUS: Despite Russia’s efforts to divide us, that has not happened. The fact remains Russian troops currently have Ukraine surrounded. We have reason to believe Russian forces intend to attack in “coming days” and mentions Kyiv.

annmarie hordern@annmarie·26s🚨In response to @nancook question if Putin has made a decision, POTUS says "As of this moment, I'm convinced he's made the decision. We have reason to believe that.”

"We're calling out Russia's plans loudly and repeatedly," President Biden says. "Not because we want a conflict, but because we're doing everything in our power to remove every reason Russia may give to justify this."

Considering he also believes he's a big rig driver, tough guy who beat that Cornpop dude, civil rights activist, went to jail for Mandela, a good Catholic, that Hunter is the smartest guy he knows, is a master of foreign policy..........

The only people trying to start a war here are Captain Dementia and his gang of incompetents. Putin is getting exactly what he wants, increased oil profits, global panic for the west to give him concessions, and best of all for Putin showing the world once again what an incompetent fool Joe Biden is.

Biden wants Americans to care more about what's happening at a border 8,800 miles away than what's happening at the southern border. Sad.

Russia won't invade. It will be invited in to handle a civilian disaster (of its own making, of course, but no evidence will link it to Russia), and there won't be a damned thing the U.S. can do about it.
