Ukraine foreign secretary jokes he has ‘full trust in Liz Truss’ after joint statement

Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine's foreign secretary, joked that he has "full trust in Liz Truss" after a joint statement in Kiev.

The pair met on Thursday to discuss the ongoing situation in eastern Europe, with fears remaining over a Russian invasion.

"I have full trust in Liz Truss," he said.

Remaining professional, the UK foreign secretary replied "thank you" with a smile.
