Ukraine claims that Russia is preparing for an invasion, which has been announced for days by the President of the United States and NATO leaders.

U.S. President Joseph Biden told Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, in a conversation that lasted about an hour, that the United States would respond quickly and decisively if Russia took further steps toward invasion, the White House said in a statement.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called for calming tensions today.
"The hysteria encouraged by the United States of America is really leading to hysteria in Ukraine, where people are on the verge of packing their suitcases in order to go to the front line," Peskov said.

The New York Times announced on January 23, citing sources in the American administration, that the President of the USA, Joseph Biden, is considering the deployment of American troops, fighter planes and warships in the Baltic states in Eastern Europe.

Kuo-cheng also warned that China could be able to invade Taiwan in 2025. Earlier, China sent a "record number" of fighter jets into Taiwanese airspace, for the fourth day in a row.
