Russia has warned the UK there is a serious risk of conflict as tensions rise in Ukraine.

The Kremlin spoke out after Britain announced plans last week to send an armoured brigade back into Germany.

In recent weeks Russian tanks have been seen massing close to the Ukraine border and there are fears President Putin is on the brink of sending forces into the country. Allied nations have issued declarations of solidarity with the government in Kyiv.
