There has been a dramatic acceleration in the deployment of Russian force on the Ukrainian border. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said this, calling on all Americans still in Ukraine to leave the country immediately.

Some Russian troops near the Ukraine border have started moving into attack positions. CBS reports this, quoting an American official, according to whom Moscow has moved part of the long-range artillery into firing position.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and US President Joe Biden agreed that an opportunity remains to resolve the crisis in Ukraine with diplomacy.
