The Prime Minister will chair a Cobra meeting on Tuesday morning to discuss the latest developments in Ukraine, Downing Street said.
The meeting, which is scheduled to take place at 6.30am, will be used to “coordinate the UK response”, including agreeing a “significant package of sanctions to be introduced immediately”, according to a No 10 spokesperson.
It comes after Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said the UK will announce new sanctions against Russia on Tuesday “in response to their breach of international law and attack on Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity”.
The Kremlin has said President Vladimir Putin is ordering Russian forces to “maintain peace” in eastern Ukraine.
According to reports, the peacekeeping operation is in two regions which the Russian president earlier said he would recognise as breakaway republics.
A No 10 spokesperson said: “The Prime Minister will chair a COBR at 0630 tomorrow morning to discuss the latest developments in Ukraine and to coordinate the UK response including agreeing a significant package of sanctions to be introduced immediately.”
