It is still possible to prevent Russian aggression in Ukraine through diplomatic talks. The news came after Joe Biden’s telephone conversation with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday after midnight.
The two world leaders had a 40-minute long phone conversation on Monday (February 14th) over the Ukraine issue. Although the British Prime Minister fears that the evidence of the Russian attack is clear in the way the military presence on the border with Russia is increasing. He said the situation was becoming very dangerous and complicated. The United States has also sent six more fighter jets to Poland amid ongoing tensions.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also said Monday that diplomatic means are not over. Hours earlier, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss had said it was clear to the UK government that an attack on Ukraine was imminent. He called on British citizens to leave Ukraine “immediately”.
The United States has said Russia could strike Ukraine at any time. The news came on Monday night that the United States had moved its embassy from the capital, Kiev, to the western city of Lviv. U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has said that Russia’s military buildup has been done because of this. The embassy has already ordered non-essential officials to leave Ukraine.
