S national security adviser Jake Sullivan warned Americans in Ukraine on Friday to leave within one to two days, spelling out what a Russian attack on the country could look like -- and that civilians could die.
"Any American in Ukraine should leave as soon as possible, and in any event in the next 24 to 48 hours," Sullivan said. "We obviously cannot predict the future, we don't know exactly what is going to happen. But the risk is now high enough and the threat is now immediate enough that this is what prudence demands."
"If a Russian attack on Ukraine proceeds, it is likely to begin with aerial bombings and missile attacks that could obviously kill civilians without regard to their nationality. A subsequent ground invasion would obviously involve the onslaught of a massive force," he continued.
Despite that message, Sullivan added that it's not clear if Putin has decided to invade Ukraine.
"I want to be crystal clear. A final decision has not been taken by President Putin, but we have a sufficient level of concern based on what we're see on the ground and what our intelligence analysts have picked up that we're sending this clear message and it remains a message that we have now been sending for some time. And it is an urgent message because we're in an urgent situation," Sullivan said.
Later, he said there was a "very distinct possibility" that Russia would act militarily, but couldn't pinpoint when or how.

I was one of those that were thinking this was all a bluff on Putin’s part, but the markets and White House seem certain.
Kabuki Theater. Make it seem like we're on the brink of war, only to have Biden save the day. Next thing you know, he's in Oslo getting the Nobel Peace Prize.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan...a master of philosophy, who worked for Hillary and was a Coca-Cola scholar at Yale.
Never carried a battle rifle, but was editor of the Yale Law Journal and also worked for Brookings Institution president Strobe Talbott at the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization.
Jake, ladies and gentlemen, is the edifice of the noodle-arm deep state, and the poorly-fashioned material upon which they build the weenie deep state.
All hail, Jake the weenie!!!
War with a superpower that has 4,000 nuclear weapons! Yeah gang, this is SOOOOOO much better that a POTUS who tweets.
A LOT of them are going to die because they will fight, and it NEVER should have happened! I am absolutely outraged!!!! INFURIATED!!! Does ANYONE both Democrat or Republican think for ONE SECOND this would be going on if the TRUE President was in office, Donald J. Trump? Not a chance in hell! And while those Ukrainians are dying the Rat/RINO uniparty scumbags will STILL be holding their effin’ Jan.6th hearings
This is what you get when REMFs are running the show.
If that was going to happen, they would had taken Kyiv by now. The surprise factor is already gone. Right now, they might be content to seize a border province or two beyond Donetsk. Then call it a day.
Both Trudeau and Biden are showing dangerously weak leadership.
It’ll then be claimed that Biden’s superior diplomatic skills prevented WWIII.
FTA: warns a Russian attack could begin with airstrikes
