Biden told reporters the possibility of sending U.S. ground combat troops to Ukraine in the event of a Russian invasion was"never on the table," although the United States and NATO would be required to send in more forces to eastern flank NATO countries to beef up their defenses. Biden, who spoke with Putin by telephone for two hours last week, said he had made clear to the Russian leader that Russia's standing in the world would change"markedly" in the event of an incursion into Ukraine.Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven richest democracies on Saturday sent a similar message to Moscow after a meeting in Liverpool, warning of dire consequences for any incursion and urging Moscow to return to the negotiating table.

Ukraine has accused Russia of massing tens of thousands of troops in preparation for a possible large-scale military offensive.
