Pres. Biden expected to press Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin during a video meeting that there would be consequences for invading its neighbor Ukraine, as Russia amasses troops on the Ukrainian border.
ABC News' Senior Foreign Correspondent Ian Pannell reports from Avdiivka, as fears of a possible Russian invasion against Ukraine continue to mount.President Joe Biden was expected to press Russian President Vladimir Putin during a video meeting Tuesday that there would be consequences for invading its neighbor Ukraine, as Russia amasses troops on the Ukrainian border.
But, according to the official, the U.S. had not determined whether Putin had decided yet if he would attack. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Monday that Russia's"escalation" was"an immediate threat." "I think you could anticipate that in the event of an invasion, the need to reinforce the confidence and reassurance of our NATO allies and our eastern flank allies would be real, and the United States would be prepared to provide that kind of reassurance," the senior official said Monday."That's just sort of applying the lessons of 2014 to 2021."
The United States also sent 600 troops to eastern Europe in a show of solidarity with Baltic nations on Russia's border. That deployment has morphed into a rotating set of relatively small U.S. deployments to eastern European nations.
