Liz Truss who is the British Foreign Secretary has highlighted that ttempts to “appease” Russian Vladimir Putin would be very dangerous amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
Truss said this in a press release ahead of her trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina on Thursday.
“Russian aggression cannot be appeased. It must be met with force. We must be adamant in ensuring the victory of Ukraine with military assistance and sanctions.
“Now we can no longer take our foot off the gas pedal,” she was quoted by BBC as saying.
Truss will be addressing the armed forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina with an aim to urge UK’s western allies to make sure Putin loses in Ukraine, the press release said.

Recall that Truss had in March said that the west needs to ensure the Russian economy is crippled so that Putin will not be able to continue his invasion of Ukraine.
In another report, Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit the soldiers that were injured in the war against Ukraine in a Moscow hospital.
“He is visiting them and talking to them,’’ Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday, according to the Interfax news agency.
Meanwhile, Peskov dismissed speculation that Putin would use the visit to announce a new strategy for the war in Ukraine.
However, there were no change of direction in the “special military operation,’’ the spokesman said, using a term that the Kremlin uses for the war.
He added that the president was merely “interested in the issue of how those who were injured during the special military operation are being cared for’’.
This was Putin’s first visit to the injured since the start of the invasion on Feb. 24. The Russian side rarely gave details on its dead and injured.
The last time the Defence Ministry published figures was at the end of March, when it said that 1,351 Russian soldiers had been killed.
Kiev puts the number of Russians killed at almost 30,000, while, the figures cannot be independently verified.
