Vladimir Putin has been humiliated by Foreign Secretary David Lammy in the House of Commons as he said it would take the Russian dictator a century to invade Ukraine

Figures shared by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) earlier that week, attributed to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, estimate that in November 2024 Russian casualties totalled 45,680.

No place for ‘old-style paternalism’, declares Foreign Secretary who also urges UK to find ‘common ground’ with President Trump

The foreign secretary has used his first major speech of 2025 to go after the Putin’s aggression in tearing up the world order and back Trump’s demands for significant increases in defence spending

Europe’s defence spending must rise with “Russia on the march” and the “post-Cold War peace” now over, David Lammy has said.

The figure given by the foreign secretary actually appears to refer to an estimate shared by the Ministry of Defence for the number who were either killed or wounded.
