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.
