Russia has test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile in a pre-arranged move as tension mounts over Ukraine's Crimea region. Vladimir Putin said there was no need to use military force in Crimea, but it would only be used as a "last resort".
US Secretary of Sate John Kerry accused Russia of intimidation and aggression against Ukraine.
He said the "Russian government is trying to make the world believe, against all evidence, it is representing Ukrainian people."
"Not a single piece of evidence supports any of Russia's claims. None," the top American diplomat said."There's a better way for Russia to pursue its interest in Ukraine," Mr Kerry added.
Russian president Vladimir Putin said he would only use force in Ukraine as a "last resort" as he defended Russia's actions in Crimea.
If you wonder what the attitude of world leaders to the crisis in Ukraine is, you are not alone - I don't think they know either.
There are fears of gas shortages in Ukraine after Russia announced it would raise its prices. But will that affect the rest of Europe?
