Joe Biden

As of this moment, I’m convinced he’s made the decision. We have reason to believe that.

No, until he does, diplomacy is always a possibility.

As of this moment, I'm convinced he's made a decision. We have reason to believe that.

We have reasonable reason to believe that Russian forces are planning to and intend to attack Ukraine in the coming week, in the coming days. We believe that they will target Ukraine's capital Kyiv, a city of 2.8 million innocent people.

Russia has a choice between war and all the suffering it will bring or diplomacy that will make a future safer for everyone.

That`s a judgment for him to make and the determination as to whether or not -- I`ve spoken with Zelensky a dozen times, maybe more, I don`t know. And it`s -- in the pursuit of a diplomatic solution, it may not be -- it maybe be the wise…

There is simply no evidence, these assertions. And it divides -- defies basic logic to believe the Ukrainians would choose this moment, with well over 150,000 troops arrayed on his borders to escalate a year-long conflict.

Make no mistake. If Russia pursues his plans, it will be responsible for catastrophic and needless war of choice. The United States and our allies are prepared to defend every inch of NATO territory from any threat to our collective…

The United States and our allies and partners will support the Ukrainian people. We will hold Russia accountable for its actions. The West is united and resolved.

Over the last few days, we`ve seen reports of a major uptick in violations of the ceasefire by Russian-backed fighters attempting to provoke Ukraine in the Donbas.

No. Until he does, diplomacy is always a possibility.

We have reason to believe the Russian forces are planning to -- and intend to attack Ukraine in the coming week, in the coming days.

As of this moment, I`m convinced he`s made the decision.

Make no mistake, if Russia pursues his plans, it will be responsible for catastrophic and needless war of choice.

Today we`re announcing the investment of $1 billion, $1 billion -- from the bipartisan infrastructure bill. It`s going to allow most significant restoration in the Great Lakes in the history of the Great Lakes.

She once wrote, quote, "We've got more yesterdays than anybody. We need some kind of tomorrow." We need some kind of tomorrow. Places like Lorain have a lot of proud yesterdays. Now, they are going to have some greater tomorrows because of…

There is a path. There is a way through this.

Somewhere along the way, we took our eye off the ball, we took our eye off the ball, our infrastructure used to be right at number one in the world.

They've moved more troops in, number one. Number two, we have reason to believe that they are engaged in a false-flag operation to have an excuse to go in. Every indication we have is they're prepared to go into Ukraine, attack Ukraine. My…

We need some kind of tomorrow.

Yes. My sense is that it will happen in the next several days.

The likelihood of Russia reinvading Ukraine is very high, and could happen in the next several days.

I'm convinced that Vladimir Putin has made up his mind to invade.

But I say again: Russia can still choose diplomacy. It is not too late to de-escalate and return to the negotiating table.

As of this moment, I`m convinced he`s made the decision. We have reason to believe that.
