Live updates: follow the latest news on Russia-Ukraine
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has dismissed President Vladimir Putin’s announcement that he is putting Russia’s nuclear deterrent on high alert as a “distraction” from the struggle his troops are facing in Ukraine.
Mr Putin said on Sunday that he was putting Russia’s nuclear forces on a “special regime of combat duty” in response to “aggressive statements” from western powers.
But Mr Johnson suggested his actions were more to do with the fact that his forces were meeting “more resistance than the Kremlin had bargained for”.
He also cast doubt on possible negotiations between Russian and Ukrainian delegations to try to resolve the crisis.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agreed that the two sides could meet on the Ukraine-Belarus border, having initially rejected an offer of talks in Belarus.
But Mr Johnson said there was nothing to suggest that Mr Putin was genuine in his offer.
“There’s nothing I’ve seen so far in his behaviour that leads me to think that he could possibly be sincere,” he said.
Earlier, Russian TV footage showed Mr Putin meeting his defence minister and the chief of the general staff, and instructing them to put the nuclear deterrent on a “special regime of combat duty”.
“Western countries aren’t only taking unfriendly actions against our country in the economic sphere, but top officials from leading Nato members made aggressive statements regarding our country,” Mr Putin said.
The expected assault on Kiev again failed to materialise on Sunday.
“This is an innocent people who are facing a totally unprovoked act of aggression against them," Mr Johnson said.
"And what’s actually happening is that they are fighting back perhaps with more effect, with more resistance, than the Kremlin had bargained for.
“You can see some of the logistical difficulties that the Russian forces are experiencing. The Russian Defence Ministry have themselves conceded that they’re having casualties.
“This is a disastrous misbegotten venture by President Putin.”
In the US, White House press secretary Jen Psaki accused Mr Putin of resorting to the tactics he used running up to invasion, “which is to manufacture threats that don’t exist in order to justify further aggression”.
Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg also condemned the threat.
“This is dangerous rhetoric," Mr Stoltenberg said. "This is a behaviour which is irresponsible.”
On Sunday, Mr Johnson addressed the congregation at the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral in London.
He said that while he bore no hostility to the Russian people, there was no excuse for the country’s leaders who had chosen “the path of violence and aggression”.
“Never in all my study or memory of politics and international affairs have I seen so clear a distinction between right and wrong, between good and evil, between light and dark,” Mr Johnson said.
Earlier, UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said that faced with the possible end of his regime, Mr Putin could resort to the “most unsavoury means” in Ukraine.
“I urge the Russians not to escalate this conflict but we do need to be prepared for Russia to seek to use even worse weapons,” Ms Truss told Sky News
After the co-ordinated announcement by the UK, US, EU and Canada late on Saturday that some Russian banks would be excluded from the Swift global payments system, she said it was vital to maintain pressure on Moscow with more economic sanctions.
She said the Foreign Office was drawing up a “hit list” of Russian oligarchs who would have travel bans and asset freezes imposed in the coming weeks.
Ms Truss said there would be an “economic cost” to pay for sanctions but it was essential that Mr Putin was stopped in Ukraine to avert future wars in Europe.
“If we don’t stop Putin in Ukraine we are going to see others under threat – the Baltics, Poland, Moldova — and it could end up in a conflict with Nato,” she said.
“Yes, there will be an economic cost here in Britain, there will be a cost in terms of access to oil and gas markets.
"I firmly believe that the British public understand the price we will pay if we don’t stand up to Putin now.”

Types of fraud
Phishing: Fraudsters send an unsolicited email that appears to be from a financial institution or online retailer. The hoax email requests that you provide sensitive information, often by clicking on to a link leading to a fake website.
Smishing: The SMS equivalent of phishing. Fraudsters falsify the telephone number through “text spoofing,” so that it appears to be a genuine text from the bank.
Vishing: The telephone equivalent of phishing and smishing. Fraudsters may pose as bank staff, police or government officials. They may persuade the consumer to transfer money or divulge personal information.
SIM swap: Fraudsters duplicate the SIM of your mobile number without your knowledge or authorisation, allowing them to conduct financial transactions with your bank.
Identity theft: Someone illegally obtains your confidential information, through various ways, such as theft of your wallet, bank and utility bill statements, computer intrusion and social networks.
Prize scams: Fraudsters claiming to be authorised representatives from well-known organisations (such as Etisalat, du, Dubai Shopping Festival, Expo2020, Lulu Hypermarket etc) contact victims to tell them they have won a cash prize and request them to share confidential banking details to transfer the prize money.

Tax authority targets shisha levy evasion
The Federal Tax Authority will track shisha imports with electronic markers to protect customers and ensure levies have been paid.
Khalid Ali Al Bustani, director of the tax authority, on Sunday said the move is to "prevent tax evasion and support the authority’s tax collection efforts".
The scheme’s first phase, which came into effect on 1st January, 2019, covers all types of imported and domestically produced and distributed cigarettes. As of May 1, importing any type of cigarettes without the digital marks will be prohibited.
He said the latest phase will see imported and locally produced shisha tobacco tracked by the final quarter of this year.
"The FTA also maintains ongoing communication with concerned companies, to help them adapt their systems to meet our requirements and coordinate between all parties involved," he said.
As with cigarettes, shisha was hit with a 100 per cent tax in October 2017, though manufacturers and cafes absorbed some of the costs to prevent prices doubling.
The currency conundrum
Russ Mould, investment director at online trading platform AJ Bell, says almost every major currency has challenges right now. “The US has a huge budget deficit, the euro faces political friction and poor growth, sterling is bogged down by Brexit, China’s renminbi is hit by debt fears while slowing Chinese growth is hurting commodity exporters like Australia and Canada.”
Most countries now actively want a weak currency to make their exports more competitive. “China seems happy to let the renminbi drift lower, the Swiss are still running quantitative easing at full tilt and central bankers everywhere are actively talking down their currencies or offering only limited support," says Mr Mould.
This is a race to the bottom, and everybody wants to be a winner.
