Russian commanders have reportedly received orders to proceed with Ukraine invasion, according to US intelligence

According to US intelligence, Russian commanders have received orders to push forward on an invasion of Ukraine.

According to US intelligence, Russian commanders were doing everything that American commanders would do once they got the order to proceed.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Sunday that US intelligence believes Russian President Vladimir Putin will attack Ukraine.

The decision that President Putin has made to invade is moving forward, according to Tony Blinken during an appearance on CBS News.

We have seen false flag operations, provocations by the Russians, and now the news that Russia was engaged in exercises with 30,000 troops that were supposed to end.

President Joe Biden told reporters on Friday that he was convinced that Putin had made the decision to invade Ukraine. We have reason to believe that.

Biden said that US intelligence showed that Russian forces were planning to attack the capital city of Ukraine.

We're calling out Russia's plans loudly, repeatedly, not because we want a conflict, but because we're doing everything in our power to prevent Russia from invading Ukraine.

Should Russia move forward with an attack, the US will impose sanctions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for sanctions against Russia on Sunday, but he was defended by US Secretary of State John Kerry.

The purpose of the sanctions is to deter Russia from going to war. During an appearance on CNN's State of the Union, Tony Blinken said that the deterrent is gone as soon as you start.

The Ukrainian defense ministry reported more than 100 ceasefire violations on Saturday. Biden was willing to talk to Putin at any time to push for diplomatic solutions to avoid an invasion, according to CNN.
