'Bristol stands with Ukraine' - Kerry McCarthy first Bristol MP to offer support to Ukrainians as Russia invades

"Bristol stands with Ukraine". These are the words of one of the city's MPs as Russian has started an invasion of the country.

Russia launched a 'full-scale invasion' of the country overnight and Boris Johnson is to make a televised address to the nation this morning. The PM said that Russian President Vladimir Putin has “chosen a path of bloodshed and destruction” with his attack on Ukraine, adding the UK and its allies would respond “decisively”.

The PM's statement came after Ukraine's president declared martial law overnight and Russia’s military said it had targeted Ukrainian air bases and other military assets. You can follow our live blog here for the latest updates on the escalating situation.
