Russia has already sent tanks and troops into Ukraine signalling an invasion, the UK health secretary says.
Sajid Javid told Sky News: “We are waking up to a very dark day in Europe. It’s clear fom what we have already seen and found out today that Russia’s President Putin has decided to attack the sovereignty of Ukraine and its territorial integrity.”
The UK has always said this was “unacceptable”, he says.
“We’ve seen that he’s recognised these breakaway eastern regions in Ukraine and we can already tell he’s sent in tanks and troops, so I think from that you can conclude that the invasion of Ukraine has begun,” he adds.
