"Things have changed dramatically," she continued."When both sides realized that there’s a real possibility of war breaking out between Russia and the U.S., the leadership started taking things more seriously."Koffler explained that both Putin and Biden are extremely weary of a U.S.-Russia war, given the vast nuclear arsenal that both countries possess.
But Koffler also said that an intentional Russian strike on the U.S. embassy in Ukraine is extremely unlikely.
