The UK has unleashed a fresh set of sanctions against Russia, targeting in particular the country's military, energy and financial sectors. As he unveiled the 100 new sanctions against Moscow, Britain's foreign secretary David Lammy branded Russian President Vladimir Putin a "warmonger".

He said: "We urge him to agree a full, unconditional ceasefire right away so there can be talks on a just and lasting peace."
