The BBC reported, Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the UK will "continue to bring maximum pressure to bear" on Russia as he flies to Poland and Estonia.

Mr Johnson said Vladimir Putin would "feel the consequences" for invading Ukraine.

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss will also travel to Geneva on Tuesday to speak at the United Nations Human Rights Council.

According to the BBC, Mr Johnson is due to meet the leaders of Estonia and Poland to discuss the response to the unfolding humanitarian crisis on Ukraine's border, as well as European security.

He will also speak to Nato secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg and meet British troops serving in Estonia - which shares a border with Russia.

"We speak with one voice when we say, Putin must fail."
