US President Joe Biden has said he thinks his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin will “move in” on Ukraine, but does not want “full-blown war”.
Asked at a news conference about the threat of a Russian invasion, he said he guessed that Putin would move in, but warned that the Russian leader would pay a “serious and dear price” for “testing” the West.
Moscow denies planning to attack or invade but has built up its forces.
It is estimated to have about 100,000 troops close to Ukraine’s borders.
