The White House is still in damage control mode after President Joe Biden's call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly went poorly Thursday afternoon as the administration insists a Russian invasion into the sovereign country is imminent.

This is not true. President Biden said that there is a distinct possibility that the Russians could invade Ukraine in February. He has previously said this publicly & we have been warning about this for months. Reports of anything more or different than that are completely false. https://t.co/chkFOhwWHn

"We need unity of our people...speculations of war destabilise the economy"

They tried to impeach Trump over his perfect phone call with President Zelensky. Why hasn't the White House released the unedited transcript of the call between Biden and the President of Ukraine? #ReleaseTheTranscript pic.twitter.com/sBAzoy95th
