WSJ: Russia sends medical units to the border with Ukraine

Moscow has apparently made the final preparations for an invasion of Ukraine by sending medical units to the front, the Wall Street Journal reported. This brings Russia to a level of readiness it has not reached in the past.

While the moves do not yet mean that an attack is imminent, they have heightened debate among Western allies over Russian President Vladimir Putin’s intentions. The U.S. and European allies, especially Germany and France, are drawing different conclusions based on the same intelligence.

Meanwhile, the White House announced that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz would be making his first official visit to Washington on February 7, and one of the key topics on the agenda would be the situation around Ukraine.
