Foreign Office minister Gillian Keegan urged calm following the threats made by Vladimir Putin.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's announcement of a partial mobilisation in Russia is a "worrying escalation," a Foreign Office minister has said.
Keegan told Sky News: "Some of the language there was quite concerning at the end and obviously we would urge for calm. It's something that we should take very seriously because, you know, we're not in control. During his address to the nation in Moscow, Putin appeared to threaten the "destruction" of its neighbour if the "territorial integrity of our country is threatened".
The Kremlin-backed efforts to swallow up four regions could set the stage for Moscow to escalate the war following recent Ukrainian successes on the battlefield.
