The UK has announced further sanctions on Moscow, while Britons have been advised against all travel to Russia.

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said three more Russian banks will be sanctioned over the invasion of Ukraine, including Russia's largest - Sberbank.

Acknowledging the war "could end up lasting months and years", Ms Truss said the UK was "prepared to suffer economic sacrifices" in order to support Ukraine and would maintain sanctions "for however long it takes"

The foreign secretary told the Commons she was "determined to go much, much further."

It comes as the Foreign Office advised Britons against all travel to Russia, citing "lack of available flight options to return to the UK, and the increased volatility in the Russian economy".

Tory MP Julian Lewis has branded Vladimir Putin “a robotic, sneering psychopath, firmly in the grip of ‘small man syndrome’”.
