Biden to speak on Russia-Ukraine crisis this afternoon
President Joe Biden will speak at 4:00 p.m. ET today to give "an update on our continued efforts to pursue deterrence and diplomacy, and Russia's buildup of military troops on the border of Ukraine," according to the White House.
Biden last spoke about the crisis on Thursday as he departed the White House for a trip to Ohio, when he said the risk of Russia invading Ukraine was "very high, because they have not moved any of their troops out."
"They have moved more troops in, number one. Number two, we have reason to believe they are engaged in a false flag operation to have an excuse to go in. Every indication we have is they are prepared to go into Ukraine, attack Ukraine," Biden added.

President Joe Biden said he is now convinced Russian President Vladimir Putin has made the decision to invade Ukraine, but emphasized that room for diplomacy remains.
"As of this moment, I am convinced he's made the decision, we have reason to believe that," Biden said when asked if Putin had made the decision to invade Ukraine.
