Russia could drag out the crisis over Ukraine for weeks – or even months – in an attempt to undermine Western unity, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has warned.
Ms Truss said it was essential not to be “lulled into a false sense of security” by Moscow’s claims it was beginning draw back its forces from the borders of its southern neighbour.
Her warning came after Britain’s head of military intelligence said that contrary to the assertions of the Kremlin, Russia was actually continuing to move forces into the border zone.
