British intelligence has uncovered a plot by Russian President Vladimir Putin to install a pro-Moscow puppet leader in Ukraine, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said in an extraordinary move.
In a highly unusual move, the Foreign Office levelled the accusation at Putin as he considers whether to mount an invasion against Russia's neighbour.
It took the unusual step of naming former Ukrainian MP Yevhen Murayev as a potential Kremlin candidate to take over the Ukrainian government in Kyiv in a Russian pupper regime.
