Britain1 vowed2 to impose sanctions on Russia3, which it warned could invade Ukraine imminently4, the U.K. condemning President Vladimir Putin's recognition of two breakaway regions of eastern Ukraine as a breach of international law.5
解:1主语+2谓语+3宾语+4定语从句+5状语
析:“to impose sanctions on Russia”是动词不定式作宾语;“which it warned ... imminently”是which引导的非限定性定语从句,which在从句中充当主语,不可省略,其中“it warned”是插入语,it指代Britain;“the U.K. condemning ... international law”是现在分词短语作状语,该部分的逻辑主语实际上就是整句话的主语“Britain”,这里将主语“the U.K.”写出是因为前方句子较长,避免回溯混淆
