British nationals have been urged by the Foreign Office to leave Ukraine immediately “while commercial means are still available”.
The Foreign Office updated its advice as Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said Russia could mount an invasion of Ukraine “at any time” - warning that conflict would have “tragic consequences” for both countries.
Following talks in Moscow with his Russian counterpart Sergei Shoigu, Mr Wallace said he had received an assurance the Kremlin was not planning to attack its southern neighbour.
