Invasion of Ukraine by Russia will only lead to "terrible quagmire and loss of life" on the scale of Soviet-Afghan war, warned UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss. Speaking at the Lowy Institute in Sydney, Australia, Truss dubbed the simmering conflict at Ukraine's Donbas region as a part of a greater fallout between liberal states and autocracies, including the Russian Federation and China. Claiming that Kremlin "has not learned the lessons of history," the foreign secretary stated, invasion of Ukraine will be a "strategic mistake."

Truss also urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to defuse escalating tensions in Ukraine. Reiterating UK support to Kyiv, she also underlined the importance of "meaningful discussions" aiming at peaceful resolution of the conflict. "(Russia should) desist and step back from Ukraine before he makes a massive strategic mistake. An invasion will only lead to a terrible quagmire and loss of life, as we know from the Soviet-Afghan war and conflict in Chechnya," Truss said.
Russia is set to encircle Europe with massive war games alongside China and Iran as fears grow over a possible invasion of Ukraine.

Putin plans to hold naval drills in the Atlantic, Arctic, Mediterranean and the Pacific this month, Moscow's Ministry of Defence announced on Thursday.

A massive manoeuvre has already started in the Gulf of Oman, south of Iran, which will continue until next Saturday, according to Bild.

Over the coming weeks, war games with Putin ally Belarus will include more than 140 warships and support vessels - as well as 60 aircraft, 1,000 piece of military equipment - and around 10,000 servicemen, the defence ministry said.
