（ＣＮＮ） Ukraine has shown great courage and resistance since the Russian aggression began, but shouldn’t expect a cinematic turnaround, says a top British diplomat.
“The real world doesn’t play out that way,” British Foreign Secretary Cleverley said on Monday while visiting the United States.
In Ukraine, there is widespread speculation that a counteroffensive against Russia will take place soon.
“I want and expect the Ukrainian army to put up a lot of effort, because I’ve seen them surpass their expectations,” Cleverley said. I need it,” he added.
“This is the real world, not a Hollywood movie,” Cleverley said.
He also made it clear that the British government wants China to play a more constructive role in ending the war.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has considerable influence over Russian President Vladimir Putin. He indicated that he did not intend to criticize it.
Cleverley acknowledged that it was still unclear whether China would be able to intervene meaningfully.
