Ukraine’s parliament holds up flags of UK and allies as Russia tensions mount
The Metro says Ukrainian politicians held up flags of NATO members, including Britain, as a show of thanks for international support as tensions with Russia continue.
Moscow has fuelled fears of an invasion by amassing more than 100,000 troops at its western neighbour’s border.
It has also built up tanks, artillery and missiles and has staged a number of high-profile military exercises. The Kremlin says it has no plans to invade and instead accuses NATO of undermining the region’s security.
It has demanded the military alliance leaves eastern Europe and bars Ukraine from ever becoming a member – requests that have been ruled out.
