The White House says an invasion of Ukraine could occur at any moment
This comes as the Biden administration weighs up new options… including providing further military assistance to Ukraine.
This is all in an attempt to prevent Russia from staging a full-scale invasion and occupation of the nation.
Last week, the US and its allies met with officials from the Kremlin… but these talks resulted in no significant breakthroughs… and Russia has continued to raise its presence over the last few days.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his Russian counterpart will meet in Geneva on Friday.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki says the situation is at breaking point.
“We believe we’re now at a stage where Russia could at any point launch an attack on Ukraine. I would say that’s more stark than we have been,” Psaki said during her daily press briefing.
“It is the choice of President Putin and the Russians to make whether they are going to suffer severe economic consequences or not.”
