A Russian invasion is now virtually certain once the ground freezes, Biden said to Zelensky, a senior Ukrainian official told

@mchancecnn

. Kyiv could be “sacked," Russian forces may attempt to occupy it, “prepare for impact”, Biden said, according to this official.

Here's how the WH says the Zelensky call went. Biden "underscored the commitment of the United States to Ukraine's sovereignty...The leaders discussed coordinated diplomatic efforts on European security..."

This is not true. President Biden said that there is a distinct possibility that the Russians could invade Ukraine in February. He has previously said this publicly & we have been warning about this for months. Reports of anything more or different than that are completely false. twitter.com/MarquardtA/sta…

That’s pretty alarming. If Biden is communicating with Zelensky in those terms, US must have intelligence beyond what is public that Putin is bent on war.

Putin will have Ukraine and Biden will be saying "bad boy, no allowance for a week."

Russia will activate 'Sandworm' first and you will see blackouts & attacks on critical infrastructure. Then the tanks will roll in.

Senior Elysée source tells me: “There is a kind of alarmism in Washington and London which we cannot understand. We see no immediate likelihood of Russian military action. We simply want our interpretation to be taken into account before a common western approach is agreed.”

Does Putin think this will keep countries from joining NATO? Seems like it will have the exact opposite effect.

Any countries with territorial disputes cannot join. So Ukraine is disqualified. That’s largely why he invaded to begin with.

it feels like the invasion is imminent, feel so sorry for Ukraine - and for Europe (echoes of WW II) karmic cycles … have we learned anything?

Normally, yes, but this winter has been unseasonably warm. It's hovering above 0°c when normally -10 wouldn't be unheard of for this time of year.

"When the ground freezes"? It's late January, if it hadn't frozen by now, it isn't going to. Unless that's the joke? Is this the climate conscious version of "when hell freezes over?"

Had a long phone conversation with @POTUS. Discussed recent diplomatic efforts on de-escalation and agreed on joint actions for the future. Thanked President @JoeBiden for the ongoing military assistance. Possibilities for financial support to Ukraine were also discussed.

Yeah at -8 degrees I'm sure the ground isn't frozen. This all sounds like total bs.

The propaganda, alas, is for domestic U.S. consumption; the Russian public couldn't care less about any of this. And Europe just doesn't want to freeze to death so that Raytheon can sell more shit to Ukraine.
