Liberation of key checkpoint shows Putin’s forces are being pushed back – Express

Vladimir Putin is "utterly deluded" if he thinks he can succeed "by blackmailing or bullying" Britain, Boris Johnson said in his farewell speech.

Speaking outside Downing Street in his last hours as Prime Minister he credited the Government for its response to the war in Ukraine.

He said: "People who organised those prompt, early supplies of weapons to the heroic Ukrainian armed forces, an action that may very well have helped change the course of the biggest European war for 80 years.

"And because of the speed and urgency of what you did, everybody involved in this government, to get this economy moving again from July last year despite all the opposition, all the naysayers. We have and will continue to have that economic strength to give people the cash they need to get through this energy crisis that has been caused by Putin's vicious war.

"And I know that Liz Truss and this compassionate Conservative Government will do everything we can to get people through this crisis. And this country will endure it and we will win."
