The British Foreign Secretary said Ukrainians will fight to defend their country, and Russia will get a “new swamp” comparable to the war in Afghanistan or Chechnya.
British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss warned Russia that in the event of an invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin will get a war comparable to the campaigns in Afghanistan or Chechnya. She stated this at the Sydney Lowy Institute, reports on Friday, January 21, site governments of Britain.
Truss noted that the Kremlin has not learned the lessons of history. Ukraine is a proud country with a long history. It has faced numerous invasions, starting with the Mongol-Tatar one, survived the Holodomor – and its level of resistance is high.
“If they have to, the Ukrainians will fight to defend their country. The invasion will be sucked into the terrible swamp that we know from the Soviet war in Afghanistan or the conflict in Chechnya,” Truss said.
The head of the British Foreign Office also believes that Russia is dreaming of restoring the Soviet Union or something like “big Russia”.
