U.S. looks to remove Americans as Ukraine prepares for possible Russian invasion
(KYMA, KECY/CNN) - Right now, more than 127,000 Russian troops are at the Ukrainian border and U.S. officials have warned invasion could be imminent.
In the meantime, the U.S. has been sending weapons to Ukraine and getting some Americans out of Ukraine as the State Department is reducing staff levels at the U.S. Embassy there.
Senior officials familiar with the discussions say President Joe Biden is also working on a 'global' strategy to increase liquefied natural gas production in the event an invasion leads to shortages in Europe, which relies on Russia for nearly half of its supply.
A senior official said Biden also met with top military leaders to talk about options for bolstering U.S. troop levels in the Baltics and Eastern Europe.
What happens next, depends on what Russian President Vladimir Putin is planning.
