Russia will launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine complete with airstrikes and a 200,000- soldier ground attack within the next 48 hours, US intelligence claims.
Pentagon sources have warned Kyiv that Vladimir Putin is fully prepared to send the huge military presence amassed at the border into Ukrainian territory - and that he's "highly likely" to take this option.
Speaking to Newsweek, one US defence official said: "The President of Ukraine has been warned Russia will highly likely begin an invasion within 48 hours based on US intelligence."
