A top White House aide asserted on Feb. 6 that Russia could invade Ukraine at “any time now” amid a weeks-long standoff between Moscow and Washington.

“It could happen as soon as tomorrow or it could take some weeks yet,” Biden administration national security adviser Jake Sullivan told ABC News. Russian President Vladimir Putin, he said, “has put himself in a position with military deployments to be able to act aggressively against Ukraine at any time now.”
