Health Secretary Sajid Javid said ‘we are waking up to a very dark day in Europe’.

‘Putin has decided to attack the sovereignty of Ukraine and its territorial integrity. We have always said that is unacceptable,’ he told Kay Burley on Sky News.

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

"The invasion of Ukraine has begun."

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
