Russia warned Wednesday it would quickly take “retaliatory measures” if the U.S. and its allies reject its security demands and continue their “aggressive” policies.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Joe Biden will have a phone conversation on Thursday, the Kremlin confirmed on Wednesday.
