White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan is warning that a Russian invasion of Ukraine “could happen at any time” — as US officials said Russia’s president Vladimir Putin has assembled 70 percent of the firepower he needs to launch a full-scale attack.“We’re in the window where something could happen. That is a military escalation and invasion of Ukraine could happen at any time,” Sullivan said in an interview airing Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.” “We believe that the Russians have put in place the capabilities to mount a significant military operation into Ukraine, and we have been working hard to prepare a response.” He said an incursion could “take many forms,” including annexing territory in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine where Russia is backing pro-separatist militias and conducting cyber-attacks to destabilize the Kyiv government.
