As tensions simmer at the border between Russia and Ukraine, Ukrainian civilians are ensuring that they’re fully prepared should an invasion take place. Russian President Vladimir Putin has demanded guarantees that Ukraine will not join NATO and has implicitly threatened the former Soviet state with a massive military build-up.
Joe Biden says he isn't ruling out personal sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin if he invades Ukraine. The threat from the US president comes as tensions between Moscow and the West continue to heat up. On Tuesday, the third instalment of US military equipment landed in Ukraine and more than 8,000 American troops stationed in Europe have been placed on standby.
