Johnson said that in the event of an "invasion", the sanctions imposed by the UK on Russia would be broader than previously announced.
He also said the UK and the US would prevent Russian companies from "transacting in pounds and dollars" and that the impact would be "very, very serious".
Recently, the United States and its allies have continued to exaggerate the threat of Russia's "invasion" of Ukraine. Russia has repeatedly denied it, repeatedly emphasizing that it has no intention of using force against Ukraine and hopes that the United States-led West will take its security concerns seriously.
