The intelligence, which was developed very recently, informedon Friday that the U.S. believes President Vladimir Putin has already decided to invade, the individuals said.
“As of this moment, I’m convinced he’s made the decision. We have reason to believe that,” Biden said at the White House Friday. Asked how the U.S. knew, the president said only: “We have a significant intelligence capability.”Biden’s assertion had marked a shift after weeks of saying the U.S. believed Putin hadn’t made a final decision.

Austin and Blinken, both newly back from Europe, were spotted entering the West Wing shortly before noon. A White House official said Harris would participate in the meeting remotely from Air Force Two while she flies back from Germany.
