UK’s Foreign Secretary said, ‘The age of engagement with Russia is over. We need a new approach to security in Europe based on resilience, defence and deterrence. There is no time for false comfort. Russia is not retreating but regrouping and repositioning to push harder in the east and south of Ukraine.’ She called for a return to Cold War-era diplomacy, declaring that an agreement in which NATO and Moscow ‘do not consider each other as adversaries’ is dead. Liz Truss made the remarks at a dinner with counterparts in Brussels, hours after NATO secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg said the war in Ukraine could be ‘a long haul’ with Vladimir Putin still intent on taking control of the whole of Ukraine. It is anticipated that Ms Truss will put pressure on her NATO counterparts to continue supplying Ukraine’s forces with weapons, alongside fortifying sanctions on Moscow.
