MOSCOW (AP) — Ukraine’s president played down intensified warnings of a possible Russian invasion within days, saying he had yet to see convincing evidence, even as the U.S. warned Sunday of more Russian troops pressing closer to Ukraine’s borders and some airlines canceled or diverted flights there.
The U.S. largely has not made public the evidence it says is underlying its most specific warnings on possible Russian planning or timing.
The Russians have deployed missile, air, naval and special operations forces, as well as supplies to sustain an invasion. This week, Russia moved six amphibious assault ships into the Black Sea, augmenting its capability to land on the coast.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Sunday that Russia had well over 100,000 troops along Ukraine’s borders, “and actually, over the last few days, even more.”
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will fly to Kyiv on Monday and Moscow on Tuesday to meet with the presidents in those capitals.
While the U.S. and its NATO allies have no plans to send troops to Ukraine to fight Russia, an invasion and resulting punishing sanctions could reverberate far beyond the former Soviet republic, affecting energy supplies, global markets and the power balance in Europe.
In a sign that American officials are preparing for a worst-case scenario, the United States announced plans to evacuate most of its staff from the embassy in Kyiv and urged all American citizens to leave Ukraine immediately. Britain joined other European nations in telling its citizens to leave.

Biden needs Ukraine to change the news about his failings
So Biden can turn around and say, “See, I stared down Corn Popov!”
Makes sense that he’d want to see it. I mean, one would not want to go to war on flimsy evidence.
We have evidence that the Russians are going to attack the radio station in Gleiwitz.
I’m thinking that there are some failures that are unknown, but will be revealed soon. Russia and Ukraine probably know this and are together fkng with Biden.
“saying he had yet to see convincing evidence”
Try looking across your border.
Will the satellite photos of troops and tanks amassed at the border do?
Ukraine has said that they will withdraw their application to join NATO.
I think that’s more likely to disarm the situation than anything diaper face Joe Stolen could say or do.
“We have evidence that the Russians are going to attack the radio station in Gleiwitz.”
Ah, yes: September 1, 1939. Just substitute “Russians” for “Poles.” One of the most blatant “false flags” in history, especially with the repercussions.
Nazi Germany and communist USSR made the agreement in the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of August 23, 1939. What many people do not realize is that the pact tacitly allowed USSR to take over the Baltic states as well as Romanian territories of Bessarabia and Bukovina and Moldava.
There was a great show that’s on YouTube called “Countdown to War”, that was a play that showed what went on behind the scenes in the months leading up to the start of the war. I thought that Ian MacKellen did a pretty good job portraying Hitler.
He should demand his money back from Hunter.
Key point is that that military is in Russia.....just as Ukraines are on their side.
Biden’s out of the loop but still trying to make it look like he’s making the calls.
President Retard and the libtard state is practically begging for an invasion to begin 🤪
That State Dept spokes-jerk’s response was soooo lame. But the reporter missed a golden opportunity to eviscerate him. “Oh, so you say you have declassified information but all you can do it tell me about it? like you had a Russian Dossier on Trump” like State said video sparked the death of Amb. Stevens? Like we are to believe any other BS you all spew to fit your purpose? Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it is raining.”
And if the Red Army stays out of Ukraine there will be no problem.
Also reported that NATO called to de-escalate the situation by demanding guarantees that Ukraine will never join NATO.
Meanwhile Germany's Chancellor Olaf is flying to Ukraine AND Russia to ease tensions......LOTS of 'shuttle' diplomacy happening at record speed....
At this point there’s more ‘indirect’ sanctioning happening in Ukraine than there is on Russia just by all the nations taking their people out and business, both there and with those abroad , is certainly not as usual.
Bingo! The last things the frat boys and girls in DC are going to do is swap nukes with Russia (or anyone else for that matter).
IF there is war—The Democramps can give Biden War Powers to ration food and gas, call for draft, Close any news media that doesn’t support the war, and cancel the elections. Whats a few thousand American lives for that boon?
