US Urges Immediate Action as Tensions Escalate Over Ukraine
The White House has issued a stark warning, stating that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could commence “at any time,” with the situation continuing to intensify. As tensions rise, US officials are urging citizens in Belarus and Ukraine to evacuate as the possibility of military action looms closer.
In related developments, US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson held a call, during which they discussed the “severe consequences” Russia would face if it follows through with an invasion. Both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to responding decisively if Russia crosses the line.
On the ground, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared Wednesday a “Day of National Unity” in a show of solidarity amid mounting fears of invasion. Meanwhile, international players continue to weigh in, with the UN Secretary-General calling for de-escalation and urging all parties to reduce tensions.
The Pentagon continues to monitor the situation closely, with Russian military forces ramping up their presence along Ukraine’s borders. Additionally, new reports suggest Russian mercenaries are entering Ukrainian territory, further heightening concerns over potential conflict.
