US President Joe Biden said in a White House address last night that there was still time through diplomacy to prevent the "worst-case scenario" of a bloody full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.

"There is no doubt that Russia is an aggressor, so we are aware of the challenges we face," Biden said.

Topics of discussion will encompass the crisis in Eastern Europe and the situation in the Western Balkans. In the last few days, Macron has taken on the role of mediator in an attempt to resolve the crisis in Ukraine.

The presidents of the United States and Russia, Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin, have agreed in principle to hold a meeting on the crisis in Ukraine, the office of French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Monday, Reuters reported.

"Macron proposed holding a summit between President Biden and President Putin, and then with other stakeholders, on security and strategic stability in Europe. Presidents Biden and Putin generally accepted the idea of such a summit," the statement said.

President Joe Biden said he thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin has decided to invade Ukraine, CNN reported.

"I am convinced now that he has made that decision," Biden said in a statement from the White House after a telephone conversation with NATO leaders.

The U.S. issued some of its starkest, most detailed warnings yet about how a Russian invasion of Ukraine might unfold, and its Western allies went on high alert for any attempts by the Kremlin to create a false pretext for a new war in Europe.

US President Joe Biden said the threat of a Russian attack on Ukraine remained, but that a diplomatic solution to the crisis was still achievable.

Biden spoke in a special address to the nation, in which he commented about the situation and the actions that the United States is ready to take.
