President Biden has again warned Russian President Vladimir Putin of painful economic consequences should Russian forces invade Ukraine.

President Biden on Thursday afternoon again warned Russian President Vladimir Putin of painful economic consequences should Russian forces invade Ukraine.
Another administration official has described the situation as a"moment of crisis." U.S. officials say they have not seen any significant signs of de-escalation. A Ukrainian soldier walks in a trench on the front line in Zolote, Ukraine, earlier this month. A buildup of Russian troops along the border with Ukraine has heightened worries that Russia intends to invade.
But both leaders acknowledged areas where"meaningful progress" could be made, as well as some areas"where agreements may be impossible," the official said. In addition to economic sanctions, Biden told Putin in their last call, on Dec. 7, that if Russia were to invade Ukraine, the U.S. would provide additional defensive equipment and supplies to the Ukraine — and potentially deploy U.S troops to other nearby Eastern European countries.
Matthew Rojansky, the director of the Kennan Institute and who is close to the Biden administration, says actions speak louder than words. But he says that Putin must also take into consideration the domestic risks of sending tens of thousands of Russian men and women into battle with such a close neighbor.
