Boris Johnson has accused Vladimir Putin of committing “a war crime” as he spoke during a session of PMQs preceded by a standing ovation for Ukraine’s ambassador.
As the Russian president’s attempt to invade Ukraine entered a seventh day, the prime minister condemned Mr Putin’s “abhorrent” attack on his country’s neighbour.
“What we have seen already from Vladimir Putin’s regime – in the use of munitions they have already been dropping on innocent civilians – in my view already fully qualifies as a war crime,” Mr Johnson told the House of Commons.
“I know the ICC [International Criminal Court] prosecutor is already investigating and I’m sure the whole House will support that.”

More than 2,000 civilians have so far died in a week of war with Russia, according to Ukraine’s state emergency service – although Sky News has not yet verified this information independently.
There are other unconfirmed claims of Russia using thermobaric weapons and widely-banned cluster munitions.
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace earlier told Sky News that Mr Putin’s actions would get “harder, tougher and more indiscriminate” as his invasion attempt lags “considerably” behind schedule.
