“My message to the people of Ukraine is this: the UK will continue to be right behind you every step of the way. Your security is our security.”

Prime Minister of the UK, Liz Truss, on her first international visit as prime minister, will call on other leaders at the UN General Assembly in New York to help end Russia’s energy stranglehold on Europe, saying it has allowed too many lives to be “manipulated,” Reuters reports.

In New York, where Truss will meet U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday, the British leader will again pledge her support to Ukraine, which she says has managed to push back Russian forces with the help of Western military aid.

“My message to the people of Ukraine is this: the UK will continue to be right behind you every step of the way. Your security is our security,” she said in a statement before her speech to the summit, which begins on Thursday.
