6:52 Meeting of UK's Cobra committee under way in Downing Street
A meeting of the UK's emergency Cobra committee is underway in 10 Downing Street.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been joined by senior security officials, including Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, to assess the impact of Russia's decision to recognise separatist regions of Ukraine overnight.
It is expected that a range of sanctions will be discussed, before British MPs are asked to rubber stamp, what a spokesperson for the prime minister called, “a significant package of sanctions” later today.
The sanctions are expected to be the first tranche of punitive measures imposed on Russia, with a further package anticipated if Moscow invades Ukraine.
Ministers are also expected to discuss the domestic implications of the proposed measures, including moves to ensure the resilience of the energy market.
7:17 Breaking Russia's invasion of Ukraine has already begun - UK

7:34 Russia has 'already sent in tanks'
Russia has already sent tanks and troops into Ukraine signalling an invasion, the UK health secretary says.
Sajid Javid told Sky News: "We are waking up to a very dark day in Europe. It's clear fom what we have already seen and found out today that Russia's President Putin has decided to attack the sovereignty of Ukraine and its territorial integrity."
The UK has always said this was "unacceptable", he says.
"We've seen that he's recognised these breakaway eastern regions in Ukraine and we can already tell he's sent in tanks and troops, so I think from that you can conclude that the invasion of Ukraine has begun," he adds.

7:41 PM will give statement to Parliament on Ukraine
The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson will give a statement to Parliament on Ukraine later today, a UK minister has said.
Sajid Javid told Sky News Johnson would set out what we know about the current situation on the ground and what action the UK would take.
He says: "We have been very clear right from the start of this crisis that we wouldn't hesitate to take action."
He says Johnson spoke to Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy last night and assured him "we will be introducing sanctions on Russia as we said we always will".

7:53 Putin has chosen confrontation over dialogue - Javid
The Health Secretary Sajid Javid is now speaking to BBC Breakfast.
He says the UK "would always prefer dialogue and will continue to do so but it's clear from president Putin's actions that he has chosen confrontation over dialogue".
He says the UK will put targeted sanctions on "individuals, companies and businesses with links to the Russian regime".
"I do think this is a huge moment right now for Europe... and we know that this is a real test for western Europe in particular now, for us to all come together, to work together in unity because we can all remember what happens when aggressors go unpunished."
8:04 Russia to recognise separatist claims over Ukraine-held territory, MP says
A senior Russian MP has said he believes Russia intends to recognise separatist claims over the entirety of the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
Rebel forces currently control just over a third of the two regions in their self-declared Donestsk and Luhansk People's Republics. The rest is still under Ukrainian government control.
Leonid Kalashnikov, a Communist MP and head of the state Duma's regional affairs committee, told RIA news agency he thought Moscow would recognise both eastern regions,
"Recognition of the LPR and DPR will be within the borders of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions," Kalashnikov said, explaining that it would be clarified and decided in the coming days.
While Russian MPs are unlikely to know Putin's intentions, there is a fear in Ukraine that Russia will try to expand the territory controlled by the rebels, which would spark a bloody conflict.
8:16 Seems we are nowhere near diplomatic solution - Javid
BBC Breakfast wraps up Sajid Javid's interview by asking if Russian President Vladimir Putin's speech last night means we are "nowhere near a diplomtic solution".
The UK health secretary replies: "It does seem that way which is obviously something that no one wanted to see."
He says there have been "huge efforts" by the UK and its allies to try and to have dialogue with Russia. These have included recent visits to Russia by the UK's foreign and defence secretaries and talks between UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Russian President Vladimir Putin, he says.
"But clearly President Putin has chosen a different route and we cannot allow this to stand," he says.
Javid says the PM is in a Cobra meeting discussing what action the UK will take and he will set out his plans in parliament later today.

Am I the only one who thinks Ukraine is not a real Country and we should let the border disputes to be resolved? There is a part of Ukraine where 80% of people speak Polish, another part where 80% speak Hungarian and a fucking 100% where they speak Russian. It's clearly a post-soviet amalgamation, definitely not worth going to war for.
