US President Joe Biden has cleared up his remarks from just a day earlier, when he distinguished between a Russian invasion of Ukraine and a “minor incursion”

Biden says if any Russian troops move across the Ukrainian border, Russia will pay “a heavy price”.

He also warns a cyberattack or para-military action by Russia may require a coordinated response.

Biden’s comments on Wednesday prompted backlash from both within the United States and around the world.

The White House says the president has conveyed directly to Putin that the movement of any military troops across the border is an invasion”.

In addition to this, Ukraine’s president has also provided clarity… reminding the so-called “great powers” that there are no minor incursions.

At this point, Russia has moved tens of thousands of troops to its borders with Ukraine… as Western states fear Moscow is planning a new assault on the country.

Biden’s comments sent Western leaders into a spin… with many determined to demonstrate they are in control of the situation…

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has been meeting with ministers from Britain, France and Germany in Berlin, and says whatever path Russia takes, the west will respond with a united front.

Other allies made similar remarks… with the European Commission President adding a new Russian attack will be met “with massive economic and financial sanctions.
