President Joe Biden says the U.S. has "reason to believe" Russian forces are planning "to attack' Ukraine in the coming days, including the capital, Kyiv.

Biden made the remarks Friday from the White House. After weeks of saying the U.S. wasn't sure if Putin had made the final decision to launch a widespread invasion, Biden said that assessment had changed.

The president reiterated his threat of massive economic and diplomatic sanctions against Russia if it does invade. He said "Russia has a choice between war and all the suffering it will bring, or diplomacy that will make a future safer for everyone".
