President Joe Biden continues to caution against a potential Russian invasion of Ukraine despite reports of Russia withdrawing some of its troops from the Ukrainian border.

Not long after Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that he is open to security talks with the West and that some Russian forces are leaving their position near Ukraine, Biden gave a speech saying that a Russian invasion is “still very much a possibility.”
