Nato allies are putting forces on standby and sending additional ships and fighter jets to eastern Europe as Russia continues to build-up its
military on Ukraine’s border.

The announcement comes as prime minister Boris Johnson warned Vladmir
Putin that an invasion of Ukraine would be “disastrous” and a “painful, violent and bloody business”.

The UK has started to move embassy staff and their families out of Ukraine
as fears mount about the invasion.

On Sunday, the US state department ordered the family members of its
embassy staff in Ukraine to leave the country, citing the “increased
threats of significant Russian military action”.

American diplomats are also allowed to leave the country if they want to, although they are not yet being ordered to do so.

The UK has also begun to withdraw some embassy staff and family members
from Kiev in “response to growing threat from Russia”.

A short update, posted to the Foreign Office website on Monday, said that
some staff are leaving the embassy, although it will remain open and operational.

Biden administration in ‘final stages’ of identifying troops to send to Europe, CNN reports

The Biden administration is finalising the “specific military units” it wants to send to Eastern Europe amid a build-up of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border, CNN has reported.

No final decision has been made yet but options were reportedly presented
to President Biden during a briefing from military officials at Camp David
on Saturday.

The New York Times claimed that the options presented to the President
included moving 1,000 to 5,000 troops to Europe.
