But Mr Putin says Nato is refusing to address Russia's legitimate security concerns about Nato military activity encroaching into Eastern Europe .

The UK has also threatened sanctions against Russia in The Face of any invasion. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has said legislation associated with Mr Putin.
