Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned on Friday that Russia could invade Ukraine at “any time.”

Blinken noted an incursion could occur during the Beijing Olympics, even though that had previously been seen as something Russian President Vladimir Putin might avoid. Blinken made the latest of his warnings in Australia following meetings with his counterparts from the “Quad” — Australia, India, and Japan.
