The UK government has made it clear this morning it has seen no signs Russia is stepping back from the prospect of invading Ukraine.
Boris Johnson described the situation as extremely concerning. He has cancelled plans to be travelling around the UK overnight – instead he’ll be back in London later and will receive briefings from intelligence chiefs about the latest situation.
The Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is also hosting a meeting of the Cobra committee at the moment. The committee meets to discuss emergencies and significant events.
The government here has said it will continue to explore every possible avenue to talk Russia out of an invasion. But at the moment, the assessment in London seems quite bleak.
