Rishi Sunak Worries About Russia's Volatility.

UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak has called for all sides in Russia to "be responsible and to protect civilians" as mercenaries from the Wagner group seize military sites from Russia and Vladimir Putin vows to "punish" those involved in the move against his government. The UK government is calling together its emergency committee, Cobra, to discuss the unfolding situation, and Mr Sunak will be speaking to international allies on the telephone later. The situation is volatile and no-one in Westminster would predict with any certainty what will happen next.
