This is reported by the Washington Post.
As noted, the White House-led Tiger Team is developing options for responding to various escalation scenarios.
According to the publication, the team "has drawn up an action plan outlining a set of quick potential responses."
It is emphasized that "the efforts of this team of experts led to the emergence of revealing statements about Russia's alleged preparation of a pretext for escalation."
As previously reported by Politico, citing sources, US President Joe Biden, during negotiations with allies, said that Russia could “launch an invasion of Ukraine” on February 16.
Later, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked for evidence of an alleged “Russian invasion of Ukraine” planned for February 16.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the purpose of the hysterical fit of the West about the alleged “invasion” of the Russian side into Ukraine on February 16 is a provocation.
