Russia’s advance in Ukraine is unlikely to go as quickly as planned. British Foreign Secretary Truss has now warned of Putin’s determination.
Kiev – After the invasion of Russian soldiers, the Ukraine conflict* finally escalated. Putin’s troops are advancing – fighting is now also taking place a few kilometers from the center of Kiev. But the attack seems to be slower than Russia had planned.
Ukraine conflict: Russia’s advance is likely to falter
This is reported, among other things, by daily News with reference to various military experts. For example, Russia* has so far not been able to completely switch off Ukraine’s air defense. Apparently Ukraine continues to shoot down Russian military planes. So there doesn’t seem to be a quick victory for Putin. In addition, Ukraine did not respond to a dubious offer by Putin to negotiate. President Zelenskyi declined to lead peace talks in neighboring Belarus, which on Sunday confirmed rockets had also been fired at Ukraine from Belarus.
British Foreign Secretary warns of “most repulsive means” in Ukraine conflict
Thus, the Ukraine war could well drag on. According to British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, the violent conflict could drag on for years. “We know that Russia has strong forces. We know that Ukrainians are courageous and determined to stand up and fight for their sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the conservative politician told Sky News on Sunday. The sanctions against Moscow are “very, very tough”, but it will take time for them to take effect and weaken the Russian economy. “I’m afraid it won’t be over quickly, we have to be prepared for a very long distance.”
