Russia risks becoming embroiled in a 'terrible quagmire' if it invades Ukraine, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss warned Friday, raising the spectre of a prolonged, bloody and sapping conflict for Moscow.
Russia risks becoming embroiled in a "terrible quagmire" if it invades Ukraine, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss warned Friday, raising the spectre of a prolonged, bloody and sapping conflict for Moscow.
He “has not learned the lessons of history,” Truss told Sydney’s Lowy Institute, urging Putin to “desist and step back from Ukraine before he makes a massive strategic mistake.” Few military experts believe that Kyiv’s smaller forces — although rapidly modernising — could repel an outright Russian invasion.
Britain is among a handful of Western nations rushing lethal weapons — like anti-tank missiles — to Ukraine, dramatically increasing the prospect of Russian casualties. Truss urged allies to “step up” in the face of the crisis, linking the Ukraine conflict to a slew of increasingly emboldened authoritarian regimes who are looking to “export dictatorship.”
