Russia risks becoming a pariah nation - UK

British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has called on anti-war protest groups to demonstrate outside the Russian embassy.

British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has warned Russia it risks becoming a pariah nation if it continues to bomb civilian targets in Syria, saying international powers must do more to punish Moscow by applying sanctions.

"If Russia continues in its current path then I think that great country is in danger of becoming a pariah nation," Johnson told parliament on Tuesday, calling on anti-war protest groups to demonstrate outside the Russian embassy.

"All the available evidence therefore points to a Russian responsibility for the atrocity," he said, referring to an attack on a humanitarian aid convoy.
