"Let us not mince words. This is not a time for half measures. If Putin does decide to act, if he invades Ukraine, the response will be swift and will be unequivocal."

"If Putin invades Ukraine, the implications will not only be devastating for the Russian economy, but also for the Russian people."

"This critical moment calls for unity of purpose, unity with our partners in Kyiv, unity with our allies, especially those who value democracy and the rule of law."

"He does not get to bully the people of an independent nation into submission."
