We saw this playbook in 2014 with Crimea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan asserted, \u201cOur intelligence community has developed information, which has now been downgraded, that Russia is laying the groundwork to have the option of fabricating the pretext for an invasion. We saw this playbook in 2014. They are preparing this playbook again and we will have, the administration will have, further details on what we see as this potential laying of the pretext to share with the press over the course of the next 24 hours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked if Russia was \u201cmaking the case\u201d to invade Ukraine. Sullivan answered:<\/p>\n<p><em>I\u2019m not going to put myself in the head of the Russians.&nbsp; As you see from their public comments, they\u2019ve been \u2014 they\u2019ve said many different things.&nbsp; Some of them contradictory.&nbsp; They\u2019ve \u2014 different speakers over the course of this week have given both hopeful signs and deeply pessimistic signs.&nbsp; You\u2019ll have to ask them where they stand in respect to their positioning.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Another reporter asked, \u201cAmbassador Michael Carpenter is offering a different assessment.&nbsp; I\u2019m sure you heard him say that, \u2018The drumbeat of war is sounding loud, and the rhetoric has gotten rather shrill.&nbsp; So, do you agree with that or disagree?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, the Russians have put tens of thousands of troops in and around Ukraine and occupied territory relative to Ukraine,\u201d Sullivan replied. \u201cSo, it is certainly the case that the threat of military invasion is high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry stated that \u201cthe military units of the aggressor country and its satellites receive orders to prepare for such provocations.\u201d Also on Friday, hackers gained access to approximately 70 Ukrainian government websites. Ukraine authorities suspected that Russia is to blame for the attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a result of a massive cyber attack, the websites of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a number of other government agencies are temporarily down,\u201d said Oleg Nikolenko, a spokesperson for Ukraine\u2019s Foreign Ministry. \u201cOur specialists have already started restoring the work of IT systems, and the cyberpolice has opened an investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/01\/14\/world\/europe\/hackers-ukraine-government-sites.html\">The New York Times<\/a> reported, \u201cThe attack came within hours of the conclusion of talks this week between Russia and the United States and NATO in Europe that were intended to find a diplomatic resolution after Russia massed tens of thousands of troops near the border with Ukraine. Moscow has demanded sweeping security concessions, including a promise not to accept Ukraine into the NATO alliance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
