Liz Truss: UK support for Ukraine following Russia’s invasion

LONDON, 01 March 2022, (TON): Foreign Secretary Liz Truss gave a statement to the House of Commons on what the UK government is doing to support Ukraine in the face of Russia’s barbaric invasion.

With permission Mr Speaker I want to update the house on our support for Ukraine in the face of Putin’s premeditated, pre-planned and barbaric invasion.

Ukraine has suffered horrific attacks. Missiles and air strikes have torn through apartment blocks. Tanks have rolled into once peaceful cities. Innocent people including children have lost their lives.

The situation is fluid, but as of today, Putin has not taken any major cities. Their advance has been slowed by Ukraine’s fierce resistance. Putin’s invasion is not proceeding to plan.

He expected to take cities quickly. He expected Ukraine to retreat. And he expected the West to be divided.
