Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told his countrymen and women Monday night that he had been told Russian forces would invade Wednesday — while Secretary of State Antony Blinken ordered US diplomats to shift embassy operations out of the capital of Kiev.Zelensky, who has been trying for weeks to tamp down warnings from the US and its allies of an imminent Russian attack, acknowledged in an address that Ukraine has been hit by information and economic attacks and that an “alien army” has gathered on the country’s borders. “We are being threatened by a great war, and the date of the invasion has been appointed,” he said, alluding to reports that President Joe Biden had told allies that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could start sometime this week.
