British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, during a meeting with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, will warn that a hypothetical Russian invasion of Ukraine would be a move that no one would benefit from. This is reported in the material of the British The Times.

The publication also notes that the British minister will arrive in Russia with a new package of sanctions to try to convince the Russian authorities to de-escalate the situation around Ukraine.

In recent months, statements have been made in the West, and in Kiev in particular, that Russia is allegedly preparing an “invasion” of Ukraine. In turn, the Kremlin has more than once directly denied any plans for an attack, and reports from Western media and officials about the preparation of an attack are called baseless and untrue.

Earlier it became known that the Parliament of the United Kingdom approved amendments to the law on sanctions against Russia. According to the document, new United Kingdom sanctions against Russia may be imposed against "any person involved in the destabilization in Ukraine", "undermining its territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence." Also, London's new restrictive measures may affect companies in Crimea that have changed jurisdiction "in violation of Ukrainian laws."
