British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss berated Moscow’s ambassador over his country’s invasion of Ukraine on Thursday, calling Russia an international pariah before kicking him out of the meeting, sources said.
Truss had summoned Andrei Kelin over what she said was Russia’s “unprovoked and unjustified attack on Ukraine”, according to an official statement for her department.
Western sanctions would inflict pain on the Russian economy, she added, and Moscow “should expect a long, protracted conflict that would inflict a huge human, economic and political cost on the Russian government,” the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office statement said.
The minister “kicked (Kelin) out after he started spouting the Kremlin’s incredulous propaganda lines”, the source added.
