"We are standing up united to address Russia's challenges to European security, you start with its aggression in Ukraine, and there will be without doubt about the resolve of the United States to defend our democratic values, which we cannot separate from our pursuits," he wrote.
"President Putin recognizes that I will not hesitate to respond to future unsafe activities," he said.
