With more evidence of troops on the Ukrainian border, how will Nato respond to the biggest threat to Europe in decades? Newsnight Diplomatic Editor MarkUrban01 reports 👇

On Wednesday, President Biden told a news conference that Mr Putin would pay a "serious and dear price" for invading Ukraine, but also indicated that it might depend on how Russia went about it.

"We have been very clear throughout," US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday, adding that any Russian incursion into Ukraine would be met with a "swift, severe and united response" from the US and its allies.In Berlin on Thursday, Antony Blinken said the US had been "very clear". Any move by the Russia military into Ukraine would be met by a "swift, severe response".

Mr Blinken raised the stakes further during his Thursday afternoon speech, perhaps to steel the nerves of US allies gathered in Berlin. This was not a "distant regional dispute", he said, but rather a threat to the international principles of sovereignty and self-determination. If Russia wanted a new Cold War, the US and its allies were ready.

Interpretations differ over what exactly was promised to the then-Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev. But it is clear that Mr Putin believes the guarantee was made.

MarkUrban01 Take it for the con it is, I hope.

MarkUrban01 The Kiev Government continues to randomly shell the Donbass and kill kids there.

lewis_goodall MarkUrban01 I sense the city of Kharkov is just about to trend on Twitter along with Mariupol. The irony of all this is that the borders of the Ukraine are those inherited from the soviet period & the Ukraine might make more sense culturally and linguistically if it were to lose the east.

lewis_goodall MarkUrban01 It's not a threat NATO have no need to react. Johnson can't be trusted to sell the upcoming conflicts .. so he needs to be replaced.

lewis_goodall MarkUrban01 its all economics..pay them...its been done since ancient times, paying tribute to the country that holds the cards !!

MarkUrban01 Great programme. Next time INF comes up, it would be great to point out that Allies agreed one party - Russia - was violating the Treaty. And that Russia was solely responsible for the Treaty’s demise

MarkUrban01 You lot wanted senile Biden to be leader of the free world so now you can reap the rewards.

MarkUrban01 Direct route London to Kyiv 2152 km 2345 that's 23 minutes of flight time and avoids the most congested air space. Think this is being made far too much of.

MarkUrban01 KirstyWark esmewren 'The NewsNight Wall'; its just a screen in the studio, nothing remarkable. Also, why omit 'British'? Not: 'UK Weapons' 'UK Army'. .. it is: British Weapons, The British Army, Passports, Border, Identity, Law. United Kingdom of Great Britain & N.Ireland.

Ukraine: Blinken flies to Europe amid Russia invasion fearsRussia denies any plan to attack Ukraine but tensions are high as troops mass near the border. I still don’t believe Putin will invade Ukraine. Biden simply can’t look soft after the invasion. Germany’s resistance to tough actions against Russia will break. Stop the war mongering. If your anonymous “reporting” on Ukraine wasn’t such rubbish - and it’s junk journalism much the same (pretending to accurately describe such a serious situation) it would all be risible...
