“If Russia crosses this line, it will be disastrous for Russia. The United States will respond decisively,” Sullivan told NBC’s “Meet the Press”.
In his speech today, Sullivan did not describe the kind of response the US intends to respond to, but said the US has “explained in more detail what it means” to the Moscow authorities under the table.
He also said the US has been in direct and frequent contact with Russia, including in recent days to discuss the situation in Ukraine and Putin’s actions and threats.
