Russia could invade Ukraine within days or weeks but could still opt for a diplomatic path, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said yesterday.
“We are in the window. Any day now, Russia could take military action against Ukraine, or it could be a couple of weeks from now, or Russia could choose to take the diplomatic path instead,” Sullivan told the “Fox News Sunday” program.
Sullivan made the comments in television interviews after two US officials on Saturday said Russia has in place about 70% of the combat power it believes it would need for a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Any possible Russian action could include annexing Ukraine’s Donbass region, where Russian-backed separatists broke away from Ukrainian government control in 2014, cyberattacks or a fullscale invasion of Ukraine, Sullivan added, saying Russia could act as soon as today though it could also be weeks
