| [BBC] Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has warned Russia it will face "severe economic consequences" if it invades Ukraine. She said G7 foreign ministers meeting in Liverpool this weekend would put on a show of unity and make clear such a move would be a "strategic mistake". Ms Truss said the UK and its allies had to "deter Russia from taking that course of action". Tensions are growing as Moscow amasses troops on Ukraine's border - but the Kremlin has denied it plans to invade.

She added: "If Russia were to take that action, it would be a strategic mistake, and there will be severe consequences for Russia. |
