The United States says Russia is ready to attack Ukraine at “very short notice”, warning the country is facing an “unprecedented threat”.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made the comments on Wednesday in Kyiv, where he met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the start of a hastily arranged diplomatic push to defuse the growing crisis. Blinken will meet his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, on Friday in Geneva.
