Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will turn into a new Afghanistan and Chechnya

British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss made a statement amid the threat of a Russian invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine will resist Russia in the event of an invasion – and the Kremlin will get a war comparable to the campaigns in Afghanistan or Chechnya.

According to her, the Kremlin has not learned the lessons of history. Truss noted that 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 get sucked into the terrible swamp that we know from the Soviet war in Afghanistan or the conflict in Chechnya,” she said.

The head of the British Foreign Office believes that Russia is dreaming of restoring the Soviet Union or something like “big Russia”.
