Joe Biden on Thursday spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky amid a threat of a Russian invasion.
Joe Biden warned Zelensky to ‘prepare for impact’ according to CNN.
“Kyiv could be “sacked,” Russian forces may attempt to occupy it, “prepare for impact”, Biden said, according to this official.” CNN reporter Alexander Marquardt said.
The White House released a readout of the call.
Joe Biden “underscored the commitment of the United States to Ukraine’s sovereignty” during the phone call.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said another incursion by Russia could be imminent.
“We’ve said for some time that another incursion by Russia could be imminent, and imminent means imminent … and I’m going to avoid the temptation to guess as to what the timing would be,” Kirby said on Thursday during a press briefing.
