Find out the situation in Ukraine.

As the US poured out information that a Russian invasion was imminent today (21st), tensions in Ukraine are not going away.



There was also news that the US and Russia had agreed on a summit in principle to resolve this situation. First, I will read the New York Correspondent Kim Jong-won's report and continue the local news.

Russia, which is conducting joint military exercises with Belarus at the border with Ukraine, fires intercontinental ballistic missiles and hypersonic cruise missiles.



Russia was originally scheduled to end the joint exercise today, but abruptly extended it indefinitely.



The fighting was used as an excuse between pro-Russian rebels and Ukrainian government forces in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.



The U.S. said it was "a concern" and that Russia was on the verge of an invasion of Ukraine.



[Tony Blincoln/Secretary of State: The things we feared would happen prior to the invasion are happening as they are.

The 30,000-strong Russian force has not finished training to end tensions in eastern Ukraine (Donbas).]



President Biden canceled a plan to go down to his home in Delaware on Sunday local time, calling for a national security emergency. A meeting was convened.



The U.S. media also reported on circumstances that an invasion was imminent.



CNN reported that 75% of Russia's main forces were forward deployed within 60 kilometers of Ukraine.



Russian military commanders have been ordered to prepare for an invasion, and it has been argued that they are even making a list of personnel to be removed after the occupation.



But Russia still denies everything.



[Anatoly Antonov/Russian Ambassador to the United States: There is no invasion.

There is no invasion plan.

The White House said that it would continue its diplomatic efforts, and that the two countries agreed in principle to hold a summit.



However, as the White House gave the proviso that the two countries had reached an agreement in principle, there is still a possibility that the meeting between Biden and Putin may be canceled depending on the outcome of the ministerial level meeting.



Russia's Kremlin also responded that there are no concrete plans for the summit.
