* 'We don't want a chaotic withdrawal from Ukraine,' said one
* Details emerged after Alexander Vindman, who oversaw the Trump administration's Ukraine policy, said Biden had left things too late
* Vindman said the U.S. should have been arming Ukrainian allies much earlier to fend off a possible Russian invasion, which he said could happen soon
* U.S. intelligence officials said Russia has 70 per cent of the military forces it needs to invade the Ukraine ready along the border
