President Putin Of Russia Will Face Sanctions From The United Kingdom
Boris Johnson has stated that sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will be implemented "imminently."
They will face asset freezes, which the EU is also imposing, but not a travel ban, according to the UK's sanctions list.
The declaration comes a day after Russia invaded Ukraine with tanks, which have been stationed in Kyiv, the country's capital.
Mr. Johnson stated that the world must ensure that Mr. Putin's "violence" is unsuccessful.
The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has prompted outrage and retaliatory penalties from Western countries.
Mr Johnson told Nato military chiefs in a virtual meeting that a "catastrophe" was enveloping Ukraine and that Mr Putin was on a mission to "overturn the post-Cold War order."
The prime minister warned allies that Russian President Vladimir Putin's goals might not be limited to Ukraine, saying it was "essential" that Nato be strengthened now in response to a "Euro-Atlantic crisis with global implications."
Mr Johnson stated that the UK was prepared to respond to any request from Nato for additional military assistance.
