Now the Defence Secretary sends the same warning Foreign Secretary Liz Truss sent last week.

"In light of the unprecedented crisis in Ukraine, the inclusion of a Russian entry would bring the competition into disrepute."

"Is this Putin now threatening Finland and Sweden? Is he deranged?"

This is despite countries neighbouring Ukraine, which include some of the poorest states in Europe, preparing to receive up to five million refugees because of the conflict with Russia.

Maria Zakharova said ‘similar adjectives’ to those used about the Russian leader could be directed at Britain’s PM.

The incident occurred as Russian troops closed in on the Ukrainian capital.

“We have to recognise that the old concepts of fighting big tank battles on European land mass are over and there are other better things we should be investing in," the prime minister said in November 2021, when there were warning signs about Russian troops at Ukraine's border.

"That footage that everybody saw is literally my home."

People are sharing details of how many refugees they can shelter in their own homes across the country - and are even offering free hotel accommodation and to build enclosures for refugee dogs.
