A top general has warned Ukraine will be"flooded" with Russian blood if Vladimir Putin orders an invasion.
Oleksandr Syrskyi, the Commander of the Ground Forces of Ukraine, issued the threat as the Kremlin continues to amass forces at the country's border.
General Syrskyi's chilling promise echoed the chants of protesters who gathered in Kyiv today and swore to fight foreign aggression with their "last breath and bullet".
