The British Foreign Secretary told the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry about the need to withdraw Russian armed forces from the Ukrainian border. Sergei Lavrov replied that the military is on the territory of his country. Liz Truss repeated that they should be withdrawn. To this, the Russian minister again objected that the military did not violate anything, since they had the right to conduct any maneuvers on the territory of the Russian Federation.

After that, he himself addressed a question to his British colleague: “Do you recognize the sovereignty of Russia over the Rostov and Voronezh regions?”

“Great Britain will never recognize Russian sovereignty over these regions,” the Foreign Minister replied after a short pause.

British Ambassador to the Russian Federation Deborah Bonnert had to intervene in the situation, who delicately explained to Mrs. Truss that we were really talking about Russian regions.

    I was browsing r/socialistRA the other day and there was a thread about the Ukraine situation. The general consensus seemed to be for US intervention if Russia invaded Ukraine because, in their view, a US occupation of Ukraine would be better for the workers of Ukraine than a Russian occupation.

    Even ignoring what a poorly constructed take that is, you can’t help a people who are dead by nuclear holocaust. The only sane take is one of non intervention. The US/NATO has no place playing at world policing.

        Per TrueAnon, it seems like the Ukrainian leadership just blows in the wind.

          Yeah, and their lack of cooperation is a big reason why Russian aggression is still a threat!

      Any Russian ‘invasion’ would be backing up the separatist forces in LPR and DPR. It wouldn’t be extending to all of Eastern Ukraine.

      The (majority ethnic Russian) populations there are better off with Russia than a neo-nazi backed Ukraine.
