NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg reiterated on Sunday that NATO would not send troops to Ukraine should Russia invade. “We are focusing on providing support,” Stoltenberg said, adding, “There is a difference between being a NATO member and being a strong and highly valued partner (such) as Ukraine. There’s no doubt about that,” he said in an interview with BBC.

As per news report of The Indian Express, UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss told Sky News that her country will seek to tighten sanctions on Vladimir Putin so there is no place for his oligarchs to hide. She said the short-term profits came at a real cost of longer term threats to democracy and freedom in the UK and other Western allies. So-called “Londongrad” has come under renewed attention as a primary destination for politically sensitive Russian businessmen and their capital. Last week, the US warned that the UK’s acceptance of what it called Russian “dirty money” threatened the effectiveness of any sanctions regime Washington will seek to impose to deter and potentially punish Russia.
