“Putin will stand condemned in the eyes of the world and of history. He will never be able to cleanse the blood of Ukraine from his hands. Now we see him for what he is – a bloodstain­ed aggressor who believes in imperial conquest” - Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

“Nato is the strongest alliance in history, and make no mistake we will defend every ally against any attack on every inch of Nato territory,” he said at the organisati­on’s Brussels headquarte­rs. An attack on one ally will trigger a response from the whole alliance” - Nato secretary-general Jens Stoltenber­g.

“The prayers of the entire world are with the people of Ukraine tonight as they suffer an unprovoked and unjustifie­d attack by Russian military forces. President Putin has chosen a premeditat­ed war that will bring a catastroph­ic loss of life and human suffering. Russia alone is responsibl­e for the death and destructio­n this attack will bring, and the United States and its Allies and partners will respond in a united and decisive way. The world will hold Russia accountabl­e” - US president Joe Biden.

“You’ve got to be aware that you are in the middle of a warzone, a live warzone and anything could happen” - BBC journalist Clive Myrie after his broadcast from Ukraine’s capital Kyiv was interrupte­d by an air-raid siren. “Now I make a very loud noise about it because you will not put me in a position where my daughters will then have to follow suit, or any other woman who can’t speak up for herself or the 19-year-old me in the room” - Myleene Klass on why she speaks out against sexual harassment.
