Miller went on to tweet that Vice President Joe Biden did attend the meeting via video conference. As we reported Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin has been given the green light by the Russian Parliament to use military force in response to government overthrow in Ukraine. A spokesman for Ukraine’s mission at the United Nations tells CNN that currently Russia has 15,000 troops in Crimea.

President Obama has warned Russian President Putin to not interfere in Ukraine, but the White House has already admitted that they have few if any options here.
