00:00I spoke by phone last night with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov,
00:03where I raised our serious concerns that Moscow may be considering launching a military attack against Ukraine in the coming
00:09days.
00:10I made clear, as President Biden did today in his conversation with President Putin,
00:15that a diplomatic path to resolving this crisis,
00:18a crisis created by the unprovoked massing of Russian forces all around Ukraine,
00:24that diplomatic path remains open.
00:26I also underscored that if Moscow chooses the path of aggression and further invades Ukraine,
00:32the response of the United States and our allies will be swift, it will be united, it will be severe.
