Boris Johnson will visit Ukraine later this month for discussions with the president, amid growing fears of a Russian invasion. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom committed to cooperate with Volodymyr Zelensky to find a diplomatic solution to the Russian dispute and "prevent additional bloodshed." Near Russia's border with Ukraine, Russia has gathered an estimated 100,000 troops, tanks, artillery, and missiles. His government, on the other hand, has cautioned Ukraine not to take any further steps toward joining Nato, claiming that doing so would jeopardize Russia's own security. The United States has rejected this proposal, and Western countries have threatened to ratchet up penalties against Moscow if an invasion occurs. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said legislation was being prepared to target a broader range of persons and businesses linked to Mr Putin, while a US official said the penalties would cut anyone connected to the Kremlin off from the international

As she faces federal terrorism charges, the family of a US woman suspected of directing an Islamic State squadron and planned strikes on American soil wants no contact with her.

A plea deal between federal prosecutors and two of the three white men convicted of murdering black jogger Ahmaud Arbery was rejected by a US judge. District Judge Lisa Wood stated that she was unwilling to be constrained by the clause that permitted them to serve their sentences in a federal jail rather than a state prison. Her decision comes after Travis McMichael revealed for the first time that chasing Mr Arbery was motivated by race. The arrangement has been described as "devastating" by Mr Arbery's mother. In November, Travis and Gregory McMichael, as well as their neighbor William Bryan, were found guilty of his murder. The three were also facing a new federal trial for hate crimes, to which they had all pled not guilty. The trial was supposed to start next month. However, according to court filings, US federal prosecutors reached a plea agreement with the McMichaels on Sunday. Mr Arbery's mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, vehemently opposed the deal, saying it was &

A party at Mr Johnson's Downing Street flat on November 13, 2020 is also being investigated by the police. Mr Johnson said he would not give a "running commentary" on something that was being probed by the
