Liz Truss has accused Vladimir Putin of using the abhorrent tactic

British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has accused Russia's President Vladimir Putin of using the "abhorrent tactic" of abducting Ukrainian civilians, Qazet.az reports.

In a tweet, Truss said that Putin was "resorting to desperate measures".

Her comments came after a Ukrainian human rights group, Zmina, said it had identified dozens of people who had been taken captive.

The group also claims that "thousands" of Ukrainians have been taken to Russia against their will.
