MADRID, 4 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

British Foreign Minister Elizabeth Truss assured this Friday that British support for Ukraine "will never waver" after a hundred days have passed since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

"Today marks 100 dark days since Putin launched his unjustified and illegal war against Ukraine. He expected the invasion to end in a few days, but he significantly underestimated the determination of the brave Ukrainians," Truss said, taking advantage of the message to send respect to the "thousands of innocent civilians killed".

Truss has insisted that "Putin's invasion" has brought death and destruction on a scale "not seen in Europe since World War II." In addition, the head of British diplomacy has stressed that the war also affects world peace, prosperity and food security.

On the other hand, the United Kingdom Foreign Minister has recalled that so far her country has sanctioned more than 1,000 people and more than 100 entities, and has also imposed important tariffs that cover goods worth 1,400 million pounds ( 1,630 million euros).

He has also emphasized the military support that the United Kingdom has offered Ukraine, including 10,000 missiles, and the training of more than 22,000 members of the Ukrainian Army.

"We are countering the Kremlin's blizzard of lies and disinformation by telling the truth about Putin's war of aggression. We will work with our allies on the urgent need to protect other non-NATO European countries that could become NATO targets." Kremlin's Manual of Subversion and Aggression," added Truss.
