Russia is being hit with more sanctions, with Boris Johnson targeting the paramilitary Wagner Group - seen as Vladimir Putin’s private army. The Prime Minister has urged allies to “step up” their support against the invasion of Ukraine.
It comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for worldwide demonstrations against the Russian invasion, a month after the country launched its attack. An emergency Nato summit will be held in Brussels on Thursday (March 24) where Mr Zelensky will remotely address world leaders.
Mr Johnson will use the summit to commit to a new package of measures, including 6,000 more missiles to help fight the Russian President’s forces. The meeting is expected to sign off on the formation of four new battlegroups in eastern Europe, adding thousands more troops.
