Russian attack on Ukraine still a possibility says Biden - BBC News

A Russian attack on Ukraine is "still very much a possibility", but the human cost would be "immense", US President Joe Biden has said.

In remarks televised nationally, he said the US was ready to respond decisively to such a move.

The US president said Russia had now massed some 150,000 troops on the border with Ukraine.

Russia's defence minister has said some forces have withdrawn. Mr Biden said that this had not been verified.
