UK is 'prepared for the worst' in Ukraine, says Foreign Secretary

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss tells Kay Burley that a Russian invasion is 'highly likely', and that the UK is 'preparing for the worst'.

She said that a Russian attack could start from the eastern region, or strike the capital Kyiv - but warned that the Ukrainian populace would fight back.

Vladimir Putin still has time to 'change his mind' over the military ramp-up she said, but maintained that any diplomatic solution must respect the integrity of Ukraine.

I'm from Ukraine and we are living a normal life as always. We do not have panic, and nobody's leaving the country. Wish everyone peace and welcome to Ukraine.

Stay out of it. Trying to use military conflict to save this government is a bad move.

[JeremyBercow]

Prepared for the worst? Lizzy, with yourself, bojo, sunak and your government, we already have the worst.

Every time she opens her mouth, emboldens Putin because he realises how pathetic and impotent the opposition. God help us if we are threatened in a way that requires us to do more than just spout platitudes.

She is without a doubt our dopiest Cosplay ‘Politician’

'An idiot abroad' This warmongereing doesn't even look acceptable on the state media in little Britain. Depressing.

[aarondavids]

Sorry but Truss doesn’t seem fit to be foreign Secretary

[IronicIrony.]

This is who we send out to represent us ? God help us.

[Kwippy]

With Boris in charge, Britain hasn't got the prestige points to make Putin take Britain seriously.

This woman is a joke, she hasn't been able been able to answer any of of the questions.
Just repeats herself over and over. The false flag operation is the American way and always has been. This woman is not fit for purpose

[JC-rlxl]

Fair play, truss is a joke. She is way out of her depth in this job

[djamaluddin]

100, 000 troops is very worrying indeed.
600, 000 troops India sent into Kashmir and it barely makes news.

It doesn't look good for the UK when the Russian foreign minister label's Truss as deaf and dumb at a press conference

[po]

The UK goverment can't even prep for snow in the winter 🙈

[martinhambleton]

We can't even manage our own borders, but apparently, we can manage everyone elses.

[michaelflinn]

The UK already has the worst.... Foreign minister. Truss, like Johnson is a complete embarrassment

[bridiesmith]

Next, she will be telling us that they have weapons of mass destruction and all will be destroyed in 45 minutes. 😂😂😂

[galacticfederation]

Its funny how the UK GOV is angry at Russia for doing to Ukraine what they themselves are still doing to Ireland.

[cheekymonkey]

What is her military history ? What unit ? Where did she serve ? What experience does she have ?

Foreign Secretary's should have Arm forces back ground, someone who knows where Russia is on the Map. Sick of seeing ppl like Truss, who only get these jobs so they can move up the political ladder.
