On Sunday, Moscow sounded in Britain after Liz Truss, the foreign secretary, warned of Russia's possible plans. The Russian foreign ministry said in a tweet: "Disinformation circulated by FCDOGovUK is another indication that it is the NATO members led by the Anglo-Saxon nations who are escalating tensions around Ukraine.

We urge the Foreign Office to stop spreading nonsense. The news came after UK deputy prime minister Dominic Raab said Russia would face very serious consequences if it attempted a coup in Ukraine. Ukraine is bracing for an invasion by 100,000 Russian troops at its border. Despite Britain standing shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine, it was extremely unlikely that British troops would be deployed in the event of an invasion, according to Raab.
