The United States has obtained intelligence that a Russian invasion of Ukraine may take place before the end of the winter games currently being held in Beijing, CNN reported tonight (Friday).

This is in contrast to previous estimates that Russian President Vladimir Putin will wait until the end of the Olympics in order not to infuriate Chinese President Xi Jinping, his close ally with whom he met before the start of the Games.

US President Joe Biden, who tonight again called on US citizens to leave Ukraine immediately, will speak tonight with a number of leaders of NATO member states, including Britain, France, Germany and Canada.

During the night, Biden met with his top national security advisers and during the past day The administration's warnings grew, with Washington recognizing an escalation in Moscow's rhetoric after diplomatic talks with European countries led to no breakthrough and were conducted with great tension.
