House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are requesting that the Biden administration brief their respective chambers on escalating tensions in Ukraine next week, leadership sources confirmed on Monday.

The call for briefings comes as the administration weighs its options amid heightened threats that Russia could invade Ukraine, with President  Biden considering sending as many as 8,500 US troops to Eastern Europe and the Baltics.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that the White House has been in contact on how to address the matter, which has garnered bipartisan concerns.

“We have been in close consultation with members in leadership from the beginning. I am sure we are working to meet the request and needs of members,” she told reporters.
