In a 40-minute telephone conversation, Joe Biden and Boris Johnson agreed that a diplomatic deal was still possible, despite repeated warnings of imminent Russian military action. The two leaders said it remained a “crucial window” for diplomacy and for Russia to back down in its efforts to threaten Ukraine, according to a statement from Downing Street. More than 12 states have urged their citizens to leave Ukraine, and the United States has said airstrikes could begin “at any time.” “Leaders stressed that any further incursions into Ukraine would lead to a protracted crisis for Russia, with far-reaching damage to both Russia and the world,” the statement said. Prime Minister Johnson said Britain was ready to do anything to help, and the US President continued: “We are not going anywhere without Britain, my friend.” Boris Johnson will hold a meeting of the security cabinet (Cobra) on Tuesday to discuss the response the United Kingdom must give in this crisis.

In a speech to the nation on Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared February 16 – a date invoked by US officials as the possible day on which Russia could attack – a “day of unity” and praised the strength of the Ukrainian army. Russia has denied any plans to invade Ukraine, but has moved more than 100,000 troops to its borders.
