Miliband tells Putin 'you cannot wait us out' on his first visit to Ukraine as Foreign Secretary
The Foreign Office said Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband told Vladimir Putin "you cannot wait us out" during his first visit to Ukraine in the role. The Guardian reported Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemning "vile" Russian attacks that killed 20 people in one apartment block, and The Times reported Russia accused of killing 33 when a glide bomb struck a bus stop. The UK also announced new sanctions on the money, oil and supply chains behind Russia's war.
Britain's message is that support will last. Russian strikes on civilians before winter test that pledge.
No direct effect; sanctions and defence costs feed into the Budget.
Watch whether new sanctions name vessels and banks, and whether they are enforced.
