Dmitry Polyanskiy, who is the Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN says "only western leaders are speaking about the inevitability of Russian incursion into Ukraine".

When asked about the likelihood of invasion he added: "We have repeatedly denied the chance of Russian invasion, the only source of this hype is at the hands of our Western colleagues."

Meanwhile, an estimated 100,000 Russian troops are now within reach of the Ukrainian border and the US President Joe Biden has said there is "total unanimity" among western leaders after a virtual meeting with allies.
