Following Russia’s military invasion in Ukraine, the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has threatened to impose unprecedented sanctions on Moscow if it did not comply.

Boris Johnson added that his country was keeping a close eye on all provocative actions by Russia, which could lead to the imposition of economic sanctions on the Russian government.

The British prime minister has also stated that he is ready to talk to Russian President Vladimir Putin again to warn against provocation against Ukraine.
