In response, White House spokesman Jay Carney said that the military action is not the preferred option, but that Kiev has to respond to “an untenable situation.”
Carney urged authorities in Kiev to take "all due caution," but said they had a "responsibility" to maintain law and order in the country.
This comes as Russia says it is "deeply concerned" about reports of casualties in eastern Ukraine following the government’s military operation. Moscow has called on the international community to condemn Ukraine's approach in dealing with the unrest in the country’s east.
Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama has accused his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin of failing to offer a diplomatic solution to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.
