CM to make a statement about Ukraine crisis

The Isle of Man's chief minister will issue a statement about the crisis in Ukraine this morning.

Alfred Cannan is expected to comment ahead of a scheduled sitting of the House of Keys.

The Manx government has already stated that the island will "take action in line with the UK government".

In a recent Tweet, Mr Cannan said: "We stand by freedom and democracy. We will do everything we need to support Ukraine at the critical time.

"Assets we can freeze. Sanctions we can support. United we stand". 

The House of Keys is due to get underway at ten this morning.

We stand by freedom and democracy. We will do everything we need to support @Ukraine @10DowningStreet at this critical time. Assets we can freeze. Sanctions we can support. United we stand @IOMGovernment
