Washington and Kyiv continue to be at odds over the threat of a Russian invasion. On Friday, a day after speaking with President Biden, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky slammed Western powers for creating a "panic" by claiming Russia is planning to invade.

"There are signals even from respected leaders of states, they just say that tomorrow there will be war. This is panic — how much does it cost for our state?" Zelensky said during a press conference.

Since early November, the US government and US media outlets have been warning Russia will invade despite repeated denials from Moscow. Over the past week, Ukrainian officials have been pushing back on the US narrative.

"Do we have tanks on the streets?" Zelensky asked. "No. When you read media, you get the image that we have troops in the city, people fleeing … That's not the case." At one point during the press conference, Zelensky said, "I'm the president of Ukraine and I'm based here and I think I know the details better here."

After Biden and Zelensky spoke on Thursday, a source in the Ukrainian government told CNN that the conversation "did not go well" and that the two leaders disagreed over the "risk levels" of a Russian attack, but the White House denied the report. The Ukrainian official said Biden said Kyiv could soon be "sacked" and that Zelensky told the president to "calm down" the messaging.
