The United States warned Russia on Wednesday against military intervention in Ukraine and said any incursion could lead to a broad international backlash.

Secretary of State John F. Kerry also pledged $1 billion in emergency U.S. loan guarantees to help Ukraine’s new, temporary government as it reels from the ouster of President Viktor Yanukovych last weekend.

“I don’t think there should be any doubt whatsoever that any kind of military intervention that would violate the sovereign territorial integrity of Ukraine would be a huge — a grave — mistake,” Kerry said in a roundtable interview with reporters.

The United States, United Nations and others would react, Kerry said, without specifying how.
