The British government has said it will push for tougher international sanctions against Russia and further increase supplies of weapons to Ukraine.

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss will use a trip to Poland this week to call for more sanctions against Russia ahead of talks with NATO and G-7 allies later in the week, the Foreign Office said in a statement on Monday.
