James Cleverly said Putin is 'exacting vengeance' on civilians in Ukraine and in low-income countries around the world for his 'military failures'. Latest:
"Putin is exacting vengeance for his military failures on the civilians of Ukraine by cutting off their power and water supply, and on the poorest people in the world by threatening their food supplies."
Mr Cleverly added:"Over 60% of the wheat exported under the Black Sea grain initiative has gone to low and middle-income countries, including Ethiopia, Yemen and Afghanistan."It would be unconscionable for those lands to be made to suffer because of Putin's setbacks on the battlefield in Ukraine. "I urge Russia to stop impeding this vital initiative that is helping feed the hungry across the world and agree to its extension."Putin's only aim is to 'spread terror'The foreign secretary said"increasingly desperate statements" from the Kremlin were designed to distract from its faltering war effort.
Without referring to the claims directly, he said:"Now the Kremlin is resorting to peddling false claims, churning out invented stories that say more about the fractures within Russia's government than they do about us."
