ONE of the city's greatest landmarks was lit up in Ukrainian colours last night in a stand against the ongoing conflict with Russia.

The Royal Pavilion was illuminated in yellow and blue in support of the nation which has been subjected to an aggressive invasion.

The landmark is among dozens "standing with Ukraine", including Albion, who will wear the club’s yellow and blue third kit on Saturday as a show of solidarity.

The Seagulls will also donate all profit from future sales of the strip – which is the same colours as the Ukrainian flag – to the British Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal.

Writing on Witter, Royal Pavilion spokesman said: "The Royal Pavilion and the whole of Brighton is #StandingWithUkraine #StopTheWarInUkraine."

Boris Johnson will update MPs on his talks with allies in eastern Europe as the UK piled more pressure on Russia over its Ukraine invasion.

It comes as US President Joe Biden used his first State of the Union address to announce US airspace was closed to Russian flights, adding his administration would be joining the UK and other allies in pursuing the Russian oligarchs and “corrupt leaders who built billions of dollars off (Vladimir Putin’s) violent regime”.

Following his trip to Poland and Estonia, Mr Johnson will address the House of Commons during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday, during which he is likely to be pressed on further action the Government could take on sanctioning Russian oligarchs and supporting Ukrainian refugees.

As the Prime Minister returns from meeting British troops on Nato’s border with Russia, the Foreign Office is expected to follow suit by announcing further financial sanctions on Moscow banks and also ban all Russia-linked ships from docking at UK ports.

Liz Truss said the measures, which include prohibiting UK individuals and entities from providing financial services to Russia’s central bank, were designed to “degrade” Russia’s economy.
