British Prime Minister Liz Truss is committed to visiting Ukraine as soon as possible, despite Russia's large-scale missile attack on Ukrainian cities.
That's according to a Downing Street spokesperson, Ukrinform reports, citing The Guardian.
"I couldn't get into the security considerations around trips like that nor could I get into speculation on dates. As you'll appreciate, the Prime Minister is firmly committed to visiting as soon as possible," the spokesperson said, when asked about what impact the renewed threat of Russian strikes on Kyiv could have on a potential visit by Truss.
Early on October 10, Russia launched missile strikes on Kyiv, Khmelnytskyi, Lviv, Zhytomyr, Dnipro and other cities. In total, 84 rockets were fired across Ukraine, and 43 of them were shot down.
