Russia-Ukraine crisis: Boris Johnson called Vladimir Putin a "dictator" who "will never be able to cleanse the blood of Ukraine from his hands".
Britain on Thursday imposed a biting package of sanctions on Russia that Prime Minister Boris Johnson said would degrade its economy "for years to come", as he slammed President Vladimir Putin in unusually personal terms.
After Putin ordered his forces to invade Ukraine, Johnson called him a "dictator" who "will never be able to cleanse the blood of Ukraine from his hands".
Downing Street will fly Ukraine's flag and be lit up in the national colours of yellow and blue on Thursday evening, the prime minister's spokesman said.
Protesters waving Ukrainian flags and brandishing placards of support gathered outside Downing Street.
