Downing Street has announced that Boris Johnson will give an announcement today regarding the ongoing Russian conflict in Ukraine.
The Prime Minister will be joined by Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte as well as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a joint press conference.
Johnson today warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin was “doubling down” on his attacks against Ukraine, and his “unrestrained” anger must be met with tougher sanctions.

The UK has faced criticism for refusing to open its borders to Ukrainians but Johnson has insisted the country would welcome those fleeing the fighting, with thousands of visa applications being processed.
He is also due to have talks with US President Joe Biden later today.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
