A Russian invasion of Ukraine is “very, very imminent if not inevitable”, the UK’s Armed Forces minister warned today.
James Heappey said it could happen at “any moment” after the US and UK declared more Russian troops had massed near the border, despite Kremlin claims of withdrawal.
Mr Heappey said war was not necessarily inevitable, but he was “very worried” by fresh images showing a new bridge and a large field hospital being built near the border.
