US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is speaking in Brussels, taking questions from reporters after remarks.

Asked by the BBC whether the US is considering energy sanctions against Russia, Blinken said "nothing is off the table" - but added that it is not in the US interest to cut the global energy supply, as this would send the price of oil surging.

Instead, "we have a strong interest in degrading Russian energy," and reducing dependence on Russian energy in the long term, Blinken said.

Asked how long that would take as Russian missiles are falling on Ukraine, he said: "I'm not going to put a timeframe on it".
