The Polish foreign minister and the US Secretary of State have stressed the need for coordinated steps in support of the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

In a telephone conversation on Tuesday, Zbigniew Rau and Antony Blinken said Ukraine needed concerted backing in efforts to preserve its independence.

"It is crucial for the international community to uphold its unity, integrity and solidarity in the face of the Kremlin's aggressive policy," the Polish foreign ministry quoted Rau as saying.

The ministers also stated that any Russian aggression on Ukraine would have "serious consequences" for Russia.
