Russia has not “taken the foot off the gas” and an invasion of Ukraine “could still happen” as early as today, the UK Defence Secretary warned today.
Ben Wallace said Britain has seen no evidence of the withdrawal of troops “claimed by the Kremlin” and, in fact, soldiers moved “to effectively assault positions” on Monday and Tuesday.
Mr Wallace said, despite reassurances from Russian President Vladimir Putin, the West is “still seeing these things go in the wrong direction” with 130,000 Russian troops near the border.
