The UK Will Not Turn A Blind Eye To Russia's Invasion Of Ukraine, Says Prime Minister

The UK Will Not Turn A Blind Eye To Russia's Invasion Of Ukraine, Says Prime Minister.

Boris Johnson has stated that the UK "cannot and will not just look away" from Russia's "hideous and brutal" invasion on Ukraine.

President Vladimir Putin, the PM claimed, had launched a "massive invasion by land, sea, and air" without provocation.

He stated that the United Kingdom and its partners will implement a "massive package" of sanctions to "hobble" Russia's economy.

At 17:00 GMT, the Prime Minister will announce new measures against Russia in the Commons.

Mr Johnson said in a pre-recorded TV address that Ukraine was not some remote country, but one "that has experienced freedom, democracy, and the opportunity to determine its own destiny for decades."

He stated that the UK and the rest of the globe could not allow that freedom to be "simply wiped away."

"Our job is clear: this heinous and barbaric effort of Vladimir Putin must fail internationally, politically, economically, and militarily," he stated.

Mr Johnson's message comes after Russian soldiers invaded Ukraine, crossing its borders and hitting military targets near major cities.

People have been trying to flee the capital Kyiv, with traffic jams and crowds seeking shelter in the city's underground. Martial law, which means the military takes temporary control, has been imposed across the country, and people have been trying to flee the capital Kyiv, with traffic jams and crowds seeking shelter in the city's underground.

Russian military vehicles are said to have crossed the Ukrainian border in several locations, including the north, south, and east.

At least seven individuals, including civilians, have been killed as a result of Russian shelling. More least 40 soldiers were killed and scores more were wounded, according to a Ukrainian presidential aide, but this has not been officially confirmed.

"In this hour of agony, we're with you, we're praying for you and your families, and we're on your side," Mr Johnson added, addressing the Ukrainian people directly.

But, he remarked, even if the months ahead are "dark and the flame of freedom burn[s] low," he is confident that "the flame of freedom will blaze brightly again in Ukraine."

"Because, despite all of his bombs, tanks, and missiles, I don't believe the Russian dictator will ever be able to suppress the Ukrainian people's patriotic feelings and their fervent belief in their country's independence."
