"We must rise to this moment. We must pledge that never again will we allow such aggression to grow unchecked. That means acting now. It means being tough -- because we know that the costs will only rise if we don't," Truss will say, according to excerpts of her speech provided by her office.She will say Putin had assaulted "the rules by which we coexist – sovereignty, democracy, the UN Charter. He has shattered the architecture of global security.
Britain, which has sought to play a central role in the international response to the invasion, has been mostly in lock-step with the United States, matching many of the measures taken by Washington since Russian troops entered Ukraine almost two weeks ago.
