Liz Truss has distanced herself from Boris Johnson’s claim that Russia wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine if Vladimir Putin was a woman.
The Prime Minister claimed the Russian President's devastating onslaught was the "perfect example of toxic masculinity" - and it wouldn't have been carried out by a female leader.
Ms Truss, one of the most senior women in Government, said it wasn't "helpful" to try to analyse how Putin thinks but he was clearly "capable of very, very evil acts".
