Vladimir Putin may be planning to use Ukraine peace talks as an opportunity to bolster his ailing army before a fresh attack, the British Foreign Secretary has warned.
James Cleverly said the Russian President could pretend to engage in negotiations while actually training more troops and sending more ammunition.
He said there was a risk “a ceasefire is actually just used by Putin to train up more troops and to produce more ammunition and to refit his damaged armed forces and to rearm his armed forces”.
