Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has announced more sanctions against Russia as she told the House of Commons that Vladimir Putin's invasion is "not proceeding to plan".
She said: "He expected to take cities quickly. He expected Ukraine to retreat and he expected the West to be divided. Instead, his forces were met by the heroic heroism of President Zelensky and the resolute determination of the Ukrainian people.
"He has been met by a united West, together with our friends around the world, and we have taken decisive action. Today we have acted with the US, the EU, Japan and Canada to cut Russia's central bank off from our markets. The rouble has fallen by over 40 per cent as a result, as much as 250 billion dollars have been wiped off the Russian stock market and today their stock market is closed."
