Boris Johnson has warned Russia that the UK will hit Moscow with sanctions the “moment the first Russian toecap crosses further into Ukrainian territory”.

During a diplomatic mission to Kyiv, the prime minister said it is vital the Kremlin “steps back” from what would be a “military disaster” for both Russia and the world.

Later on Tuesday, Russian president Vladimir Putin said that the UK, US and allies have ignored Russia’s top security demands, but added that Moscow remains open to more talks with the West.
