US President Joe Biden said on Friday he was “convinced” that Russian President Vladimir Putin had decided to invade Ukraine, but added that there was still room to choose between “war” and “diplomacy.”
“I am convinced that he has made the decision. We have reason to believe that,” Biden said in remarks from the White House, noting that an attack could come in the next “week” or “days.”
“Until he does, diplomacy is always a possibility,” he pointed out, however, and announced that the head of US diplomacy, Antony Blinken, will meet on Thursday the 24th with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, in Europe.
