Sky News published this video item, entitled “UK will stand ‘shoulder to shoulder’ with Kyiv but ‘extremely unlikely’ to send troops” – below is their description.

The UK will stand “shoulder to shoulder” with Ukraine but it is “extremely unlikely” British troops will be sent to the Russian border, Dominic Raab has said.

The Deputy Prime Minister said the UK and other nations will enforce economic and financial sanctions on Moscow if Russia invades Ukraine as troops mount at the border.

He also told Trevor Phillips that Tory MP Nusrat Ghani should have made a formal complaint over claims she was told by a whip, who she did not identify, that her “Muslimness was raised as an issue” at a meeting in Downing Street.
