Flights to Ukraine halted or redirected

MOSCOW (AP) — Some airlines have halted or diverted flights to Ukraine amid heightened fears that an invasion by Russia is imminent despite intensive weekend talks between the Kremlin and the West. The White House said President Joe Biden told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday that the West was committed to diplomacy to end the crisis but “equally prepared for other scenarios.” It said Biden would talk with Zelenskyy later Sunday. Russia denies it intends to invade but has massed well more than 100,000 troops near the Ukrainian border and has sent troops to hold military maneuvers in neighboring Belarus, a close ally of Moscow.
