Ukraine: Americans Must “Leave Now”; Senator Cotton: Invasion Imminent
Biden Tells Americans in Ukraine to ‘Leave Now’ as Possible Russian Invasion Looms
By Fox News. President Biden warned Americans who remain in Ukraine that they should get out of the country amid growing tensions along the border there as Russian President Vladimir Putin weighs whether to invade.
“American citizens should leave now,” Biden told NBC News’ Lester Holt in a pre-taped interview that ran Thursday evening.
“It’s not like we’re dealing with a terrorist organization,” Biden said. “We’re dealing with one of the largest armies in the world. It’s a very different situation and things could go crazy quickly.”
Biden also said there is no scenario in which he would send troops to rescue Americans in Ukraine trying to flee the country. “There’s not. That’s a world war when Americans and Russia start shooting at one another,” Biden said. “We’re in a very different world than we’ve ever been.”
Biden also concluded that if Putin is “foolish enough to go in, he’s smart enough not to, in fact, do anything that would negatively impact on American citizens.” (Read more from “Biden Tells Americans in Ukraine to ‘Leave Now’ as Possible Russian Invasion Looms” HERE)

Russia Likely to Invade Ukraine in Days’ Time as Belarus Military Drills Serve as ‘Cover’: Sen. Cotton
By Fox News. The expectation of Russia invading Ukraine is becoming progressively more likely based on recent military patterns, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., analyzed on “America Reports” Thursday.
According to Russian military movement and the commencement of drills with Belarus, Cotton anticipated that President Putin has every intention to attack the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv first, pending invasion.
“The sad fact is that Russia has troops encircling Ukraine and they’re exposed on almost every front,” he said. “But my estimate based, on the late troops movements into Belarus, is that Vladimir Putin decided that he wanted to get to the capital sooner rather than later.”
But the Belarus military drills could be all but a distraction, which has led the senator to believe that an initial invasion of Ukraine could happen in a matter of days.
“Those military drills… are nothing but a cover for a likely invasion,” Cotton said. “I think they tell us, since they’re starting so soon, that we could be down to a matter of days, not weeks.” (Read more from “Russia Likely to Invade Ukraine in Days’ Time as Belarus Military Drills Serve as ‘Cover’: Sen.
