US Vice-President Joe Biden warned that Russia was "involved in a false flag operation to have a reason to go in" and that an invasion of Ukraine was very likely to happen. Biden claimed that the shelling in eastern Ukraine by insurgents with Russian support had been "a massive provocation". The U.S. refused to concede to Moscow's demand to stop NATO expansion in Eastern Europe on January 26, prompting Russia to expel a US diplomat.
Also, since Friday, there have been at least ten mass shootings in the US. Gunfire erupted in a well-known nightlife zone in Philadelphia over the weekend. At least 14 people were hurt and three other people were murdered in a shooting in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Many additional shootings compelled law enforcement agencies around the nation to maintain an alert state. At a high school graduation party in Summerton, South Carolina, eight people were shot, one of them died.
