U.S. believes Russia has decided to invade Ukraine next week, PBS reports

The U.S. believes Russian President Vladimir Putin has decided to invade Ukraine, and has communicated that decision to the Russian military, Nick Schifrin of PBS reports via Twitter, citing three Western and defense officials. The U.S. expects the invasion to begin next week, Schifrin adds, citing six U.S. and Western officials. U.S. officials “anticipate a horrific, bloody campaign that begins with two days or aerial bombardment and electronic warfare, followed by an invasion, with the possible goal of regime change,” says Schifrin.
