The United States and Russia have agreed to a security sit-down on Jan. 10 as tensions regarding Ukraine continue, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.

Russia has been building up military troops near the Ukraine border for the last few months, "which U.S. intelligence has assessed as preparation for a full-scale invasion in early 2022," CNN explains. President Biden has urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to diffuse the situation, but Putin has demanded NATO guarantee it won't bring Ukraine into the military alliance.
