‘Economic consequences’ for Russia if it takes military action against Ukraine – US ambassador to NATO

Russia can expect “high impact economic consequences” if it goes ahead with military action against Ukraine, the new US ambassador to NATO has told this programme.

US intelligence says Russian troops are massing on the Ukrainian border, suggesting an invasion is imminent.

President Biden will hold a virtual summit with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin tomorrow, when he will stress American support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
