MADRID, 20 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The British Foreign Minister, Liz Truss, warned the West on Sunday that “it has to stop Moscow” for fear that Putin “does not stop” with Ukraine,” the minister said in an interview with ‘Daily Mail’
“We need to stop Putin because he will not stop in Ukraine … his ambition will not only lead him to take control of Ukraine, but he wants to turn back the clock to the mid-1990s or even earlier,” he said. the British foreign minister.
According to Truss, the former Soviet republics are at risk of being swallowed up by Putin’s ambitions to create ‘Great Russia’, a USSR-style country, and he has warned that the Baltic states could be the Russian leader’s next target.
“It is very important that we and our allies stand up to Putin. Ukraine could be next week, but which country will be next?” said the UK foreign secretary.
Likewise, Truss has warned Vladimir Putin that if he invades Ukraine, “it could trigger the end of his 23-year rule on the people of Russia.”
“The Ukrainians will fight back and see coffins going back to Russia. That could be the end of Putin if there is an invasion of Ukraine,” the UK minister told the Daily Mail.
These statements come after the head of the Foreign Ministry assured on Saturday that “the worst scenario” could be presented for Ukraine as soon as next week.
Thus, he remarked that “there is no evidence that the Russians are withdrawing from the border regions near Ukraine”, so there should be no illusions, since “Russia could drag this out much longer in a brazen ploy to spend weeks or months subverting Ukraine and challenging Western unity.
