In a secure video call Tuesday President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke for roughly two hours amid escalating tensions between the two nations. 

The White House said Biden voiced "deep concerns" that the U.S. and its European allies share regarding Russia’s military buildup along the Ukrainian border.

In April, the European Parliament signed a nonbinding resolution that would cut Russia off from the banking network should it invade Ukraine.  

The U.S. has not officially taken a position on the resolution, but sources tell Fox News that Russia would view any move by the United States as an act of "economic warfare." 

"President Biden reiterated his support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and called for de-escalation and a return to diplomacy," the White House said in a statement following the call.
