U.S. President Joe Biden, in a telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, warned him about the readiness of the United States and its allies to take decisive measures in the event of a Russian attack on Ukraine, the White House has reported.
"He made clear that the United States and its allies and partners will respond decisively if Russia further invades Ukraine," White House Spokesperson Jen Psaki said in a statement.
In addition, Biden called on Putin to ease tensions near Ukraine.
