5 things to know today about the Russia-Ukraine crisis

President Biden on Friday said he’s “convinced” Russian President Vladimir Putin has made up his mind to move forward with an invasion of Ukraine.

Russia has assembled forces outside the Ukrainian borders over the past few months, sparking concern amongst the international community that Moscow will invade the former Soviet country.

These fears were exacerbated on Saturday when the leaders of Russian-backed separatist territories signed mobilization decrees and called for able-bodied men to take up arms.
