President Biden told Americans Friday that he was “convinced” Russian President Vladimir Putin had decided to invade Ukraine — and warned of a massive military operation that could target the Eastern European country’s capital, Kyiv.
“We have reason to believe that Russian forces are planning to — intending to attack Ukraine in the coming week — in the coming days,” Biden said in remarks from the White House Roosevelt Room. “We believe that they will target Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, a city of 2.8 million innocent people.”
