UK PM spurns Russian president’s ‘sabre-rattling’ as she prepares call for democratic renewal in UN address

The Russian president’s threats in a televised address to the nation appeared to suggest the conflict in Ukraine could spiral into a nuclear crisis, prompting a furious response from world leaders, led by the US president, Joe Biden.
