Liz Truss: I’ll do what is right and necessary on Ukraine, and defend our freedom

The Telegraph  

Liz Truss on Thursday night described herself as a “freedom fighter” on Ukraine, telling Conservative Party members they could trust her to do all she can to ensure Vladimir Putin is defeated. The Foreign Secretary said she would make Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, the first foreign leader she calls if she is chosen as the next prime minister, pledging to follow in Boris Johnson’s footsteps and be Kyiv’s “greatest friend”. Ms Truss said she would urge G7 nations to provide more lethal and humanitarian aid to Ukraine and “commit completely to ensuring Putin fails and suffers a strategic defeat, and that Russia is constrained in the future”. My first and last priority will always be Britain’s safety and security.” The integrated review, published in March last year, was completed before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Nato’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.
