    In return, Johnson "praised" Zelensky's "leadership" and said "the resistance of the Ukrainian people was heroic," before the two "agreed to continue to stay in close contact", the reports stated.

    On Sunday, UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss warned that if Western countries do not "stand up to Putin immediately," the confrontation between Russia and Ukraine might escalate into a clash between Russia and NATO.

    On the same day, Truss authorised British troops to travel to Ukraine to combat Russia, despite warnings that such action would be unlawful and hazardous, and stated that the UK government had "prepared a hit list" of Russian "oligarchs" to censure.
