Speaking before his trip to Brussels for the NATO-G7 summit, Boris Johnson said Vladimir Putin had "crossed the red line" and that the international community would "increase pressure" on the Russian president when the leaders meet today. "We need to do more, and so we need to do more economically. Can we do more to keep him from using his gold reserves, for example, in addition to his cash reserves?" he said. "What can we do about additional SWIFT sanctions? And we need to do more to give Ukrainians military support," Johnson said. As reported, the United Kingdom intends to announce a "new large package of military support" for Ukraine at meetings of NATO and G7 leaders on March 24. The new support package will include 6,000 anti-tank and high-explosive missiles, as well as £25 million in financial support for the Ukrainian military.
