Today, The Telegraph published a message from British prime ministerial candidate Liz Truss, current foreign secretary: "I am putting myself forward because I can lead, deliver and make the tough decisions.

What is extremely important for Ukraine Liz Truss plans to continue Boris Johnson's battle for Ukraine and the state's policy regarding protecting our state for the sake of peace in Europe. "I will hit the ground running as prime minister, whether it is in ensuring Vladimir Putin loses in Ukraine or getting the economy going."
