WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden held a video call on Friday with the leaders of several NATO allies and other U.S. partners to discuss Russia’s escalating military buildup on the Ukrainian border.

Biden spoke with the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Canada, NATO, the European Union, Poland and Romania, the White House said Friday.

The call was not on the president’s official schedule released last night. This suggests it may have been arranged at the last minute, which is unusual for a call involving so many world leaders.

Russia has been building up its military presence on the Ukrainian border for the past several months, and currently has more than 100,000 troops stationed there.

1. TDFG would say if he were still in office..."Nothing to see here, folks."

Not Joe.

Joe is letting the world know that there is a LOT to see here. That Russia's ambition with Putin at the head of it all, is to reclaim ALL the territories that once made up the Soviet Union come hell or high water. For Putin needs Ports, Natural resources, and an economy to match the size of his military. For all he is is a military power with Nukes.
