Liz Truss will warn the West must"never again" allow aggression like Vladimir Putin's"to grow unchecked" - as the Ukraine invasion enters its third week.
The foreign secretary will use a speech at the Atlantic Council think tank in Washington DC on Thursday - the 15th day of the Ukraine invasion - to call for an end to"the era of complacency". She is expected to say:"How we respond today will set the pattern for this new era. We must start with the principle that the only thing aggressors understand is strength, and we must start by working together to stop Putin's offensive in Ukraine.
"We must rise to this moment. We must pledge that never again will we allow such aggression to grow unchecked. That means acting now."The public understands the gravity of this moment. They see the terrible suffering caused by this pre-planned, barbaric and illegal invasion against a European democracy and they recognise that the world has changed."
