'I say to the Ukrainians in this moment of agony, we are with you': Boris Johnson addresses nation as Russia invades Ukraine
Boris Johnson is set to address the nation this morning following a crisis meeting of senior ministers and officials on the next steps following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The Prime Minister said Vladimir Putin had "chosen a path of bloodshed and destruction".
The meeting of the Cobra emergency committee follows a call between Mr Johnson and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky during the night as Russia launched its assault.
"I am appalled by the horrific events in Ukraine and I have spoken to President Zelensky to discuss next steps," he said.
"The UK and our allies will respond decisively."
