Russian President Vladimir Putin warned NATO and the US Tuesday that any deployment of troops or missiles in Ukraine would cross a “red line” and prompt a military response.

Putin’s remarks came as Secretary of State Antony Blinken and NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg cautioned Putin against taking any aggressive action against Ukraine amid a buildup of Russian troops and equipment on Ukraine’s eastern border.

“And part of that playbook is to attempt to create and manufacture a so-called provocation as justification for something that Russia was planning to do all along,” said the secretary, who noted that NATO allies will meet on Wednesday about the standoff.

A​lso on Tuesday, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal said Russia is “absolutely” behind a suspected plot to topple the country’s pro-Western government because it has made moves to join the European Union.
