Mr Putin is aware that as Ukraine does not belong to Nato, there will be no military response by Western states. 'Also, if he just occupies the eastern regions he will never be able to take back the whole of Ukraine because of the inevitable strengthening of Ukrainian forces in the remainder of the country in the aftermath. 'Should Russia invade, we will provide additional defensive equipment to Ukrainians.' The official warned the Kremlin: 'Our message, and that of our allies and partners, is that Russia has two choices: diplomacy and de-escalation, or escalation and massive consequences. We are now at a stage where Russia could at any point launch an attack on Ukraine.' It is a show of force and plans for a possible invasion. A senior State Department official said: 'This is neither an exercise nor normal troop movement. In a call to Mr Lavrov, Mr Blinken 'stressed the importance of continuing a diplomatic path to de-escalate tensions'. Looking to impress on Moscow the need for de-escalation, he and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov decided yesterday 'it would be useful' to meet in person on Friday in Geneva. He then moves on to Berlin and will also hold talks with France and the UK. In a hastily arranged trip, Secretary of State Antony Blinken was set to arrive in Kiev last night to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In a sense he might as well go for as much of Ukraine as he can get hold of because the penalties are just the same.Р”В«y Sam Greenhill Chief Reporter for the Daily MailР”Р„merica last night warned the Kremlin of 'massive consequences' as its top diplomat flew to Europe for last-ditch talks aimed at averting war.

Last night a senior defence source said: 'We strongly believe preference is for a full invasion rather than a limited offensive.

They believe Mr Putin's troops are being positioned in line with his new objective, with armoured divisions set to head into neighbouring Belarus on exercise but now stationed within striking distance of Kiev. It had been thought Mr Putin would choose the 'simple option' of sending troops into the Donbass region in south-eastern Ukraine and then negotiate for it to become an independent state, providing a buffer between pro-western Ukraine and Russia.Р”Р„s the region is already occupied by pro-Russian separatists, and has been in a state of war since 2014, it was believed it would offer little resistance.Р”В«ut the latest intelligence now has Ministry of Defence chiefs worried about a much larger incursion, raising fears of warfare engulfing cities and high civilian death tolls. The White HouseР’В warned yesterday the situation was 'extremely dangerous' and that Moscow could launch an attack 'at any point'. The region has been on a knife-edge since the end of last year when Moscow moved as many as 100,000 troops, as well as tanks and missiles, close to the border. Vladimir Putin will opt for the 'nightmare scenario' of a full invasion of Ukraine as tensions rise towards tipping point, UK defence chiefs fear.
