The Biden administration has given Ukraine its full backing as new video showed Russia sending trains filled with tanks and military vehicles into Crimea. 

Secretary of State Antony Blinken reaffirmed the United States' 'unwavering support' for Kiev as tensions continue to escalate with Moscow. 

The Kremlin said on Thursday the West should not 'worry' about Russian troop movements on the Ukrainian border, but there are concerns the situation could develop into another conflict. 

A number of American officials have reached out to their Ukrainian counterparts this week over concerning moves by Russia's military in Crimea and in Ukraine's easternmost region, Donbas, that borders Russia. 

Blinken spoke with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Wednesday in the face of 'Russia's ongoing aggression in the Donbas and Crimea,' reported CNN

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan held a similar call with his Ukrainian counterpart on Monday. 

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley spoke to Ukraine's top general and also Russian Gen. Valery Gerasimov, the head of Russia's general staff. 

Details about Milley's call with Gerasimov haven't been made public. 

CNN reported that the Pentagon has become worried about an escalation as military intelligence reports said around 4,000 heavily armed Russian forces had been seen moving in Crimea.
