Jake Sullivan, national security advisor to President Biden, said on Friday that U.S. intelligence “continue(s) to see signs of Russian escalation.”
“As we have said before, we are in the window when an invasion could begin at any time should Vladimir Putin decide to order it,” he added. An invasion could happen “any day now,” possibly even “during the Olympics” taking place in Beijing, Sullivan says.
Countries from all over the world are urging their nationals to evacuate the area, anticipating the conflict to escalate, possibly even limiting safe public transportation options.
The British foreign office called for all UK nationals to “leave now while commercial means are still available.” The Netherlands, Japan and South Korea made similar announcements. In its warning, Latvia cited “a serious threat to security posed by Russia.”
