Boris Johnson has warned that evidence suggests that Vladimir Putin is planning ‘the biggest war in Europe since 1945’ and said there are signs the plan has ‘in some senses’ begun.
The Prime Minister told the BBC’s Sophie Raworth that intelligence suggests Russia intends to launch an attack coming down from Belarus to encircle Ukraine’s capital Kiev – a city with a population of 2.8 million people.
Speaking after the Munich Security Conference, he said: ‘The plan that we’re seeing is for something that could be the biggest war in Europe since 1945 just in terms of sheer scale.’
