The United States prepares to evacuate its embassy in Kiev as Western intelligence officials warn that a Russian invasion of Ukraine is increasingly imminent
Russia, which denies any plan to attack Ukraine, already controls the Crimea territory annexed in 2014 and supports separatist forces controlling Ukraine's Donbas region in the east.
The officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said a small number of US diplomats may be relocated to Ukraine’s far west, near the border with Poland, so the US could retain a diplomatic presence in the country. "We continue to see very troubling signs of Russian escalation, including new forces arriving around Ukraine's borders," Blinken said in a press conference in Fiji.
