Daily Mail: 'Any incursion into Ukraine is an invasion': Blundering Biden is sent out with a SCRIPT to read as White House scrambles to clear up mess caused by his press conference gaffe that was taken as a 'green-light' for Russian attack 

* Biden joined the concerted White House cleanup effort Thursday morning 

* He said if 'any assembled Russian units move across the Ukrainian border, that is an invasion' 

* He also warned there would be a response to cyber attacks or 'Little Green Men' – Russian forces disguised as militia 

* His comments came after furious pushback from Ukraine 

* 'We want to remind the great powers that there are no minor incursions and small nations,' wrote Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky 

* Ukraine's foreign minister said Biden's comments could invite a Russian attack 

* VP Kamala Harris snapped at NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie when she told the vice president that the White House's messaging was unclear 

* She reiterated that any invasion of Ukraine's borders by Russia would be come at a 'severe cost' 

President Joe Biden today used a script to offer his fulsome backing to Ukraine after he yesterday inflamed the invasion crisis by suggesting a 'minor incursion' by Russia would go unpunished. 

Biden said Thursday a move by any Russian forces into Ukraine would constitute an unacceptable invasion. 

Biden also said the U.S. would respond to any moves by 'Little Green Men', a reference to Russian soldiers posing as militia, as well as cyber actions and 'paramilitary tactics.'
