Sullivan said US President Joe Biden reminded his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin of the potential consequences for Moscow in the event of an invasion of Ukraine.
US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland said earlier that Washington is discussing with its allies the option of sanctions, which is tantamount to completely isolating Russia from the global financial system in the event of a Russian "invasion" of Ukraine.
The press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, called the media reports a continuation of the information hysteria that the United States is studying new sanctions against Russia, including its disconnection from the SWIFT system.
Also, the Kremlin said that Russia is not going to attack anyone.
Dmitry Peskov called the "hysteria" against Russia in the English-language and Ukrainian media unacceptable.
