Foreign secretary Liz Truss said Russia would not be ‘indiscriminately bombing civilians’ if it was serious about holding peace talks with Ukraine.
Western officials warned that the Russians have ‘enormous’ stocks of artillery ammunition meaning they could maintain their bombardment for weeks.
‘Russian operations have changed. Russia is now pursuing a strategy of attrition. This will involve the reckless and indiscriminate use of firepower. Ms Truss told The Times: ‘What we’ve seen is an attempt to create space for the Russians to regroup. Their invasion isn’t going to plan.’ ‘He underestimated western unity. And among other things, by the way, he underestimated the passionate commitment of the people in this country to help.’
Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove confirmed more than 150,000 households had now offered to house Ukrainian refugees, the majority of whom have made their way to Poland.Former PM David Cameron announced on Friday he was driving a ‘small lorry’ to the Polish border with Ukraine with supplies.
