A Russian invasion of Ukraine would shock the world, including East Asia and Taiwan, the UK’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Saturday as he rallies for unity at the Munich Security Conference.

Calling the present time a “moment of extreme danger,” Johnson said it’s not entirely clear what is the intention of Russian President Vladimir Putin, but “the omens are grim.”
