Invasion of Ukraine has begun, UK health secretary says

UK health minister Sajid Javid says it is clear Russian president Vladimir Putin has decided to attack the sovereignty of Ukraine and believes an invasion has already begun, Reuters reports, says The Guardian.

We are waking up to a very dark day in Europe and it’s clear from what we have already seen and found out today that the Russians, President Putin, has decided to attack the sovereignty of Ukraine and its territorial integrity.”

The health secretary told Sky News:

We have seen that he has recognised these breakaway eastern regions in Ukraine and from the reports we can already tell that he has sent in tanks and troops.

From that you can conclude that the invasion of Ukraine has begun.”

Javid added that Boris Johnson will make a statement to parliament today on Ukraine.
