" We must move with speed, to assure The People of Ukraine that We Are committed to action and not just warm words - and we must make Putin's collaborators aware that The Noose is tightening. If they do not distance themselves from Putin, they face prosecution and prison, " Mr Brown wrote.

Mr Brown continued: " From Britain - which rightly prides itself On Democracy and the rule of Law - The Message must go out. At Nuremberg we held the Nazi war criminals to account. Eight decades on, we must ensure there will be A Day of reckoning for Putin. "

US President Joe Biden This Week .

The Kremlin denounced the comments as " unacceptable and unforgiveable rhetoric".

Other leaders to accuse Russian of carrying out War Crimes include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson .

Peace Talks between Russia and Ukraine have been taking place - But UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has warned that the Kremlin might be using the negotiations as a " smokescreen".

In an interview with The Times newspaper, She Said : " If a country is serious about negotiations, it doesn't indiscriminately bomb civilians That Day . "

Meanwhile, the UK government has said that two million medical items have been donated to Ukraine, including painkillers, insulin shots and intensive care equipment.
