US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is vowing a "swift and severe" response to any Russian invasion of Ukraine.
He was speaking in Berlin, hours after President Biden at a White House press conference suggested that a low-level incursion by Russian forces might not incur a full-scale western response.
The White House moved quickly to suggest that the President's comments were misinterpreted, but today Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelensky said on Twitter that he wanted "to remind great nations that there are no minor incursions".
Meeting European allies in Berlin, Mr. Blinken renewed America's vow to lead a united international response to any Russian aggression.
