Russia has plans in place to increase force on Ukraine borders 'even more,' US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.
"We know that there are plans in place to increase that force even more on very short notice," Blinken said of the massive troop build-up near Ukrainian borders."And that gives President Putin the capacity also on very short notice to take further aggressive action against Ukraine and that, of course, has gotten not only our attention, but it's gotten the attention of virtually all of our allies and partners and not just in Europe, even beyond.
"Blinken said President Joe Biden had asked his team to"take stock" of the situation after intense negotiations with allies but also conversations with Russia, and to"reaffirm" the US' commitment to Ukraine."I strongly, strongly hope that we can keep this on a diplomatic and peaceful path, but ultimately, that's going to be President Putin's decision," he concluded.
