There is a "real threat" of Russia invading Ukraine, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has warned, but it is "very unlikely" British soldiers would be deployed to fight in any conflict.
Instead, she said the UK was sending weapons to Ukraine and "strengthening" its sanction system so oligarchs close to the Kremlin had "nowhere to hide".
She said the UK was also offering extra support to nearby Nato allies.
Any invasion would be "terrible for Europe", Ms Truss told the BBC.
