He said there was "incredible unity" among the allies and in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

In turn, Burbank said that Ukraine's allies will not allow the Russian president to intimidate them and sow discord.

"If we have different opinions, we will discuss it behind closed doors. Because we will not allow Putin to divide us, no matter what other means and methods he uses," Burbank emphasized.
