James Cleverly has hit out at Vladimir Putin after the Russian President gave a rambling speech today. The Foreign Secretary branded Mr Putin's address on Thursday as "unclear, untrue and unedifying".
The Russian leader took part in a more than three-and-a-half-hour question-and-answer session at the annual Valdai forum.
In the wide-ranging speech, Mr Putin sought to justify his brutal invasion of Ukraine and heavily criticised the West.
But Mr Cleverly said: "Putin's message today to the Russian people is unclear, untrue and unedifying.
"What is crystal clear, is our message to the world.
"Aggressors must not be able to invade their neighbours with impunity.
"We will resolutely support Ukraine in its fight for freedom and democracy."
