Truss ‘absolutely’ supports individual Brits going to fight in Ukraine

Speaking to the BBC’s “Sunday Morning” programme, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said she “absolutely” support individual Brits going to fight Russian forces in Ukraine.

“I do support that. Of course that is something that people can make their own decisions about”, Ms Truss said. 

“The people of Ukraine are fighting for freedom and democracy — not just for Ukraine, but for the whole of Europe because that is what president Putin is challenging”.

This comes as the Ukrainian leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, called on the country’s international “friends” to help them fight in the conflict: “Every friend of Ukraine who wants to join Ukraine in defending the country please come over, we will give you weapons”.
