The call comes as the threat of a Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to escalate.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke today with President Vladimir Putin of Russia about Russia\u2019s escalating military buildup on the borders of Ukraine. President Biden was clear that, if Russia undertakes a further invasion of Ukraine, the United States together with our Allies and partners will respond decisively and impose swift and severe costs on Russia. President Biden reiterated that a further Russian invasion&nbsp;of Ukraine&nbsp;would produce widespread human suffering and diminish Russia\u2019s standing.&nbsp;President Biden was clear with President Putin that while the United States remains prepared to engage in diplomacy, in full coordination with our Allies and partners, we are equally prepared for other scenarios.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/administration\/594002-biden-warns-putin-of-swift-and-severe-costs-if-russia-invades-ukraine\">The Hill<\/a>, the phone call took place over the course of about an hour.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday evening, it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-u-s-to-order-immediate-evacuation-of-embassy-in-ukraine-report-says\">reported<\/a> that the Biden administration was preparing to order \u201cAmerican staff at the Kyiv embassy\u201d to depart Ukraine immediately.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, the State Department issued a <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/traveladvisories\/traveladvisories\/ukraine-travel-advisory.html\">Level 4 travel advisory<\/a>, writing in part:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Do not travel to Ukraine due to the increased threats of Russian military action and COVID-19; those in Ukraine should depart immediately via commercial or private means. If remaining in Ukraine, exercise increased caution due to crime, civil unrest, and potential combat operations should Russia take military action.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The travel advisory continued, noting that the State Department had indeed ordered<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>\u201cmost U.S. direct hire employees\u201d to leave the Kyiv embassy, and that beginning on Sunday, consular activities in Kyiv will be suspended.<\/p>\n<p>The order added that while a small contingent of consular staff will be present in Lviv, Ukraine, which is approximately 291 miles west of Kyiv, for emergency scenarios, \u201cthe U.S. government will not be able to evacuate U.S. citizens in the event of Russian military action anywhere in Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, during a White House <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/press-briefings\/2022\/02\/11\/press-briefing-by-press-secretary-jen-psaki-and-national-security-advisor-jake-sullivan-february-11-2022\/\">press briefing<\/a>, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan took questions on the Russia\/Ukraine situation. One reporter asked about the NATO Response Force as it pertains to American personnel, and Sullivan said that U.S. service members are not being sent to engage in direct fighting with Russia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I want to be very clear about something: These deployments of U.S. service members to Poland, to Romania, to Germany \u2014 these are not soldiers who are being sent to go fight Russia in Ukraine,\u201d Sullivan said. \u201cThey are not going to war in Ukraine.&nbsp;They are not going to war with Russia.&nbsp;They\u2019re going to defend NATO territory, consistent with our Article 5 obligation.&nbsp;They are defensive deployments.&nbsp;They are non-escalatory.&nbsp;They are meant to reinforce, reassure, and deter aggression against NATO territory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire\u2019s first original film, Shut In, has made its cinematic debut, being met with rave reviews.
