Pres. Biden and The World Anxiously Await Putin’s Next Move.
World powers are wondering and worrying what the Vladimir Putin will do next in Ukraine. (The Hill)
Pres. Biden and Putin.
“Any hour, any day, Russian forces encircling Ukraine could salute an order from Russian President Vladimir Putin to invade, a plan Putin reportedly envisions would upend the government in Kyiv and block NATO from ever expanding its membership to include Ukraine.
U.S. officials believe Putin has decided to invade Russia’s neighboring democracy and has already communicated those plans to the Russian military, possibly to begin before Sunday. Russia has 130,000 troops poised to move into Ukraine, knowing its forces can overpower Ukraine’s army and that the international community’s threatened punishments will be economic and trade-related.”
President Biden is trying to make sure war does not develop in the Ukraine but has a tall order considering it appears Putin appears intent on invading. The diplomatic class is working furiously to try and stop what appears to be the inevitable in a region that is no stranger to hardship and misery. This is a true test for President Biden on the World stage and his every move is being highly scrutinized and questioned.
