UK Foreign Secretary Elizabeth TrussLONDON Feb 27 The situation in Ukraine may eventually escalate into a conflict with NATO, if Russia's actions are not stopped, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said.
"But we are fighting not only for Ukrainians, for their sovereignty and the right to self-determination, this long conflict is about freedom and democracy in Europe . If we do not stop Putin in Ukraine, others will be threatened: the Baltic countries, Poland, Moldova. And this could result in a conflict with NATO, and we don’t want this", Truss said on Sky News.
She added that the economic losses that Europe will have to suffer are incomparable with the losses of Ukraine. Russia began military operation to demilitarize Ukraine on 24 February. In a televised address to the Russians, President Vladimir Putin said that circumstances «require decisive and immediate action from us, the people's republics of Donbass have asked for help.» The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation emphasized that the Russian Armed Forces do not strike at the cities of Ukraine: military infrastructure is disabled with high-precision means. /uploads/2022/02/4defdbb37319eaf5fb427ed9aef10cb7.jpg» />The West is ripe for «hellish» sanctions against Russia.
