Russia could invade Ukraine ‘almost immediately’, Liz Truss warns

Liz Truss has warned that Russia could invade Ukraine at any time, as Prime Minister Boris Johnson has urged the nation to step back from the "edge of a precipice".

The foreign secretary was speaking following a meeting with her Russian counterpart in Moscow last week.

"We are fully aware that there could be a Russian invasion almost immediately, that is why British citizens do need to leave Ukraine," Ms Truss said.

"But we are also pursuing a path of diplomacy and de-escalation."
