Prime Minister Boris Johnson says Russia is planning a lightning raid on Ukraine, as British embassy staff and their families withdraw from Kyiv. He warns that an invasion of Ukraine would be disastrous for Russia as it could become a new Chechnya. The UK is not considering sending any combat troops to Ukraine, but it is providing weapons and is planning sanctions against Russia.
