U.S. President Joe Biden said he’s convinced Russian President Vladimir Putin has decided to attack Ukraine and that an invasion -- including a strike on Kyiv -- could come within days.
Biden cited “significant” U.S intelligence capability in support of his assertions, though he did not elaborate. The Kremlin has repeatedly denied it plans to invade Ukraine, while massing more than 150,000 troops on the country’s borders, according to the U.S., and demanding concessions from Washington and NATO.
