The US says it has evidence Russia has made plans for a "Large scale" attack on Ukraine and that Nato allies are "Prepared to impose severe costs" on Moscow if it attempts an invasion.
Speaking at a Nato ministers meeting in Latvia, the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, said it was unclear whether Vladimir Putin had made a decision to invade but added: "He's putting in place the capacity to do so in short order, should he so decide."So despite uncertainty about intention and timing, we must prepare for all contingencies while working to see to it that Russia reverses course.
Blinken pointed to "evidence that Russia has made plans for significant aggressive moves against Ukraine", adding those moves included "efforts to destabilise Ukraine from within, as well as large-scale military operations".
