Read our privacy policy The UK’s defence secretary has warned Russia’s “meat grinder army” will not stop and the Ukraine war could continue for another full year. Asked whether we could see the war between Ukraine and Russia still going in another 12 months, Mr Wallace told LBC on Thursday: “I think we will. “When someone has crossed the line and thinks it is ok to do that to your own people, running effectively a meat grinder for an army, I think he is not going to stop.” The UK is set to hold a one minute silence at 11am on Friday to mark the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine.
