U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden has said that if Russia continues to support people who occupied administrative buildings in eastern Ukraine, Russia will find itself in even greater international isolation.

He said in a press statement after talks with Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk in Kyiv on Tuesday that no nation should threaten its neighbor by massing troops on the border, and thus destabilizing the situation.

Biden said that the United States wanted Russia not to support the people who hide behind masks and are dressed in military uniforms, and who seize buildings in the east of the country. He also added that more provocative behavior from Russia would lead to greater isolation.
