UK PM spurns Russian president’s ‘sabre-rattling’ as she calls for democratic renewal in UN address
president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, urged world leaders not to “let up” on dealing with Putin despite domestic concerns about soaring energy prices.
Truss also used her address to highlight the continuing struggle, with economic security at its heart, between democracies and autocracies. “Unless democratic societies deliver on the economy and security our citizens expect, we will fall behind,” she said. “We need to keep improving and renewing what we do for the new era, demonstrating that democracy delivers.”
As foreign secretary, Truss travelled to Moscow to meet Lavrov in February, just weeks before the invasion of Ukraine, but relations were icy with Russia’s top diplomat describing the talks as a conversation of “the mute with the deaf”, as she warned Moscow of tough sanctions in the event of an attack on Ukraine.

Russians react to Putin’s announcement of a partial military mobilisationThe world has responded to threats of nuclear war from Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin addressed his nation on television for the first time since the invasion of Ukraine, where he escalated war efforts. There have been calls following his address for people to take to the streets over an announcement to enact a partial mobilisation of troops. A partial mobilisation of troops of as many as 300,000 military reservists means anyone with any kind of military training or affiliation would be able to be asked to participate in the war in Ukraine. Since the Russian President’s address, many have rushed to flee the country as a flight radar tracks the rapid increase in flights leaving Russia.
