The Situation in Ukraine Isn't Going Away

🇺🇦 The Biden administration sanctioned four individuals yesterday accused of working on behalf of Moscow to destabilize Ukraine, where ~100,000 Russian troops have surrounded the country on three sides.

• A day after saying he believes Moscow will invade, President Biden told reporters yesterday that any Russian troop movements across Ukraine's border would constitute an invasion​​, and Moscow would "pay a heavy price" for doing so.
• The Biden administration last week accused Russia of sending operatives into Ukraine to stage a "false-flag operation" that would give President Vladimir Putin the pretext to invade.
• Other countries have also echoed pessimism about a possible Russian invasion. Top NATO diplomats met in Berlin yesterday to discuss the potential attack, while the UK's armed forces minister said war with Russia could be "weeks away."
• Yesterday, US officials gave approval for three Baltic NATO members to send American-made weapons to Ukraine.
