The hypothesized date is that of February 16: on that day, according to what Joe Biden told the allies, Russia could physically attack Ukraine, an action that could also be preceded by missile raids and cyberattacks.

News arrived at the end of a very tense day between Moscow and the West, with the Pentagon preparing to send another 3 thousand soldiers to Poland while diplomacy tries to avoid the worst through a conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart .

Meanwhile, today there will be a phone call between the foreign minister of Moscow, Serghei Lavrov, and the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken.

After Biden's request to his compatriots to leave Ukraine "immediately", followed closely by Korea and Japan, Great Britain and Latvia. Israel has recalled the diplomatic staff and even the EU, so far cautious, has suggested to the "non-essential" personnel of its missions to work remotely "outside the borders" of the country.

In short, everything raises the alarm.
