British Prime Minister Boris Johnson delivers a statement on Ukraine as tensions run high after Russia massed an estimated 100,000 troops in reach of its neighbour's border, surrounding Ukraine with forces from the north, east and south.
After British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss answers questions on Ukraine as tensions rise over Russian troop buildup around the Eastern European nation's borders.

Heappey writes in strong terms: “To be British is to go to the aid of others and defend those who cannot defend themselves. That’s why we went to the aid of Poland in 1939. That’s why we were one of the founding allies of NATO after the Second World War.
