Boris Johnson to present six-point anti-Putin action plan to world leaders
BORIS Johnson will present world leaders with a six-point action plan to combat Vladimir Putin this week.
He has drawn up a package of aid and sanctions and urges partners to match words with action.
The PM will place humanitarian and military support to Ukraine at the heart of his strategy to isolate Russia.
Setting out his plan last night he said: “Putin must fail and be seen to fail in this act of aggression.
“It’s not enough to express our support for rules-based international order — we must defend it against a sustained attempt to rewrite the rules by military force.”
“The world is watching.
“It is not future historians but the people of Ukraine who will be our judge.”

PM praise for Press
BORIS Johnson has praised British war journalists after a Sky News crew were shot in an ambush near Kyiv.
Stuart Ramsay, chief correspondent at Sky, was shot in the back as a car carrying his crew towards the Ukrainian capital came under attack by suspected Russian saboteurs.
Cameraman Richie Mockler’s body armour was hit by two rounds before they took cover. The crew were later rescued by police.
The PM tweeted: “The courage of these journalists is astonishing to watch.”
