Ukraine could face the worst-case scenario of a Russian invasion as soon as next week, and Europe faced one of its most perilous security situations since the early 20th century, British foreign minister Liz Truss told Munich Security Conference on Saturday.

“We need to prepare for the worst-case scenario and that worst case scenario could happen as early as next week,” she said. “The reality is that Russia does want to turn the clock back - they want to turn the clock back to the 1990s and before.”

She continued: “In the last week alone, we’ve seen a doubling of disinformation, and we’ve seen false flag operations in the Donbass region. I’m afraid that Russia has shown that they are not serious about diplomacy.”

“I’m afraid that Russia has shown that they are not serious about diplomacy,” she said. “And we need to be strong because that is the only thing that Russia understands.”
