BREAKING: Pres. Biden held his third call with Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin and warned that the U.S. and its allies 'will respond decisively and impose swift and severe costs on Russia' if it invades Ukraine, according to a brief White House readout.
The two leaders spoke for just over an hour for the first time, marking their third conversation amid escalating tensions over Russia's military buildup at the Ukraine border, where it has amassed over 100,000 troops.
"President Biden was clear with President Putin that while the United States remains prepared to engage in diplomacy, in full coordination with our Allies and partners, we are equally prepared for other scenarios," the White House said. The official said the countries will continue to"stay engaged in the days ahead," as military action from Russia remains a"distinct possibility."

French officials said Macron received personal assurances from Putin that he has no intention of attacking Ukraine. Macron raised concerns about Russian naval maneuvers near Ukraine in the Sea of Azov."Putin did not present this movement as a precursor to attack," French officials said.
