Illegal invasion threatens world peace - Truss
UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has warned Russia's "unjustified and illegal" invasion threatens world peace and economic stability, Qazet.az reports.
In a statement marking the 100th day of the war, Truss also said President Putin had badly miscalculated.
"He expected the invasion to be over in days, but significantly underestimated the resolve of brave Ukrainians, who have valiantly defended their country," she said. "Putin's invasion has brought death and destruction on a scale not seen in Europe since World War Two.
"This war has huge ramifications for global peace, prosperity and food security. It matters to us all. "Today is a moment to pay our respects to the thousands of innocent civilians murdered since the invasion, and reaffirm our steadfast support for Ukraine's heroic defence, to ensure they succeed and Putin fails."
