UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has said that she would "absolutely" support Britons travelling to Ukraine to join the country’s fight against the Russian invasion.
In an interview on the BBC’s Sunday Morning programme, Truss was asked whether she would back anyone wanting to volunteer to help the Ukrainians fight against Russia.
“Absolutely, if people want to support that struggle I would support them in doing that,” she told the programme.
“That is something people can make their own decisions about. The people of Ukraine are fighting for freedom and democracy, not just for Ukraine but for the whole of Europe,” Truss said.
