U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has warned Russia it'll face serious consequences from the United States and its allies if it engages in further aggression against Ukraine.
Following a meeting with his UK, French and German counterparts in Berlin on Thursday, Blinken also stressed that no matter which path Moscow takes, the U.S. stands shoulder to shoulder with its allies.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury Department has slapped sanctions on four Ukrainian officials for their intimate involvement in disinformation efforts by Russia's Federal Security Service.
The four include two current members of Ukraine's parliament.
