U.S. Secretary of State Blinken engaged in high-stakes diplomatic talks with Russia, emphasizing allied unity and a "swift, severe" collective response to any military action, including non-conventional "gray zone" tactics.
The U.S. imposed new sanctions on Ukrainian officials accused of aiding Russian influence efforts, while Russia denies invasion plans and demands binding security guarantees, including a prohibition on Ukraine joining NATO.
