There will be a “swift, severe” response from Washington and its allies if Russia sends military forces into Ukraine, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warns
Blinken noted that American diplomats have held more than 100 meetings with allies in recent weeks about the crisis in Ukraine.
“If any Russian military forces move across the Ukrainian border and commit new acts of aggression against Ukraine, that will be met with a swift, severe, united response from the United States and our allies and partners," Blinken told reporters. Russia has massed an estimated 100,000 troops near Ukraine, and Biden said Wednesday he thinks Moscow will invade.
Russia has denied it is planning an invasion and, in turn, accused the West on Thursday of plotting “provocations” in Ukraine, citing the delivery of weapons to the country by British military transport planes in recent days.The challenges of keeping the United States and its NATO allies united in their response to Russia were on display Wednesday, whenbut also said a “minor incursion” would elicit a lesser response.
