They agreed to meet in Geneva as you noted. At that meeting, Secretary Blinken will urge Russia to take immediate steps to de-escalate,\u201d Psaki said. \u201cHe will also fly to Kiev to consult with President Zelensky and Ukraine\u2019s leaders and to Germany for consultations. As you also know, there is a congressional delegation that is also on their way there. And it\u2019s a note, I would note that that just indicates that support for Ukraine has always been a bipartisan issue, and we welcome that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut where things stand right now, President Putin has created this crisis by amassing 100,000 Russian troops along Ukraine\u2019s borders. This includes moving Russian forces into Belarus recently for joint exercises and conducting additional exercises on Ukraine\u2019s eastern border,\u201d she continued. \u201cSo, let\u2019s be clear, our view is this is an extremely dangerous situation. We are now at a stage where Russia could at any point launch an attack in Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Psaki said that Blinken will emphasize that there is a diplomatic way forward to de-escalate the situation and that if Russia invades that \u201care going to suffer severe economic consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PressSec?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PressSec<\/a>: &#8220;Our view is this is an extremely dangerous situation.

It has also demanded that all U.S. nuclear weapons be withdrawn from Europe, saying it felt threatened by their presence \u2014 though the types and locations of those weapons haven\u2019t changed in years. And it wants a stop to all Western troop rotations through former Warsaw Pact states that have since joined NATO.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>This is a developing news story; refresh the page for updates.&nbsp;<\/em><\/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.
