In a national address from the White House on Tuesday, President Biden said the United States has not yet determined that some Russian military
units are moving back from the border of Ukraine and returning to their bases, despite claims by senior Russian officials.

But amid a flurry of mixed signals from Moscow, leaders in Washington and Europe were cautiously optimistic that war may have been averted, at
least for now.

“That would be good” if Russia has moved back its forces, Biden said, “but we have not yet verified that.” “Indeed,” he cautioned, “our analysts
indicate that they remain very much in a threatening position.” Biden said that Russia had more than 150,000 troops around Ukraine, up
significantly from some previous estimates of about 130,000, and noted that “an invasion remains distinctly possible.”

Biden reiterated that Russia would face potentially crippling sanctions and that a planned pipeline to bring natural gas to Germany “will not
happen” if Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his forces into Ukraine.

Biden appeared confident the opposing sides could find a diplomatic exit from the crisis. He said he spoke with Putin over the weekend “to make
clear that we are ready to keep pursuing high-level diplomacy to reach written understandings among Russia, the United States and the nations of
Europe to address legitimate security concerns, if that’s his wish.”

Biden noted that the Russians stated their willingness to continue talks. “I agree,” he said. “We should give the diplomacy every chance to
succeed. And I believe there are real ways to address our respective security concerns.”
