Senate to get Ukraine, Russia briefing on Thursday

Biden administration officials will brief the Senate on Thursday on Ukraine and escalating tensions with Russia, which has amassed troops along the border.

The briefing with senior administration officials, confirmed to The Hill by a Senate aide, comes amid growing concerns over a potential Russian invasion of Ukraine, with Moscow estimated to have 120,000 troops near the border.

Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) had previously requested the all-member briefing for this week, when the Senate will return from a one-week recess.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has also requested a briefing for all House members. A spokesperson didn't immediately respond to questions about the timing of a potential House briefing.
