Washington [US], November 15 (ANI/Sputnik): The United States and European allies have been talking about potentially sanctioning Moscow or increasing security assistance to Kiev should Russia take military action against Ukraine, Bloomberg reported on Monday.

US officials have purportedly discussed the idea of a package of measures to counter possible Russian actions, Bloomberg said, citing people familiar with the discussions. The effort is designed to dissuade Russian President Vladimir Putin from aggression against Ukraine by making clear that there would be a coordinated response by the US and its European allies, the sources said.
