Exlnt question from @Mark_J_Harper, following up on @hilarybennmp.
Will the UK impose further sanctions, even if Putin only limits his invasion to Donbass regions?
.@BorisJohnson: "It’s inevitable that we will be coming forward with a much bigger package of sanctions"

The PM's answer was carefully crafted tho. Full quote: "I think it is inevitable, given what is happening in Ukraine and on the borders of Ukraine, that we will be coming forward with a much bigger package of sanctions."
In answer to @LaylaMoran, the PM says it's inevitable that Putin will 'continue' with his invasion. Wonder if that means 'continue' to stay in Donbass or 'continue' by invading other parts of the country?
Clive Betts and @tobyperkinsmp pushed him once more, and @BorisJohnson replied that "the unity of the west is the priority".
That sounded like the next round of UK sanctions will not depend on Putin invading rest of Ukraine, more that it's Q of coordination with allies
