Vladimir Putin has been warned attempts to bend the will of the Ukrainian population will fail as they will continue to fight back against Russia’s attempts to take over. Ukraine’s armed forces and civilians have led a fierce resistance against Moscow, delivering a hard blow to Putin’s plans for a quick conflict. Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gover said the signs suggest Russia will not secure any victory in Ukraine as he suggested Russian citizens may soon see their leader for who he really is.

Speaking to the BBC’s Sunday Morning programme, Mr Gove said: “We know Ukrainian armed forces and Ukrainian civil society are standing strong and fighting back.

There is an attempt, obviously, by Putin to break the will of the Ukrainian people. That will not happen.

“And one of the things we know is that Russia has already lost this war politically and militarily, there is no happy outcome for Russia.

“Earlier this week we heard a Russian pilot whose plane had been downed by Ukrainian air forces explain he regarded himself as a war criminal for what he was doing.”

He added: “He [the soldier] appealed to other Russian soldiers not to carry on this conflict.

“We know there is still some way to go because of the grim vice Putin has over his people and his armed forces but we need to be strong and patient.”

The Conservative frontbencher also revealed he is looking into welcoming a Ukrainian refugee as part of the British Government’s new welcoming scheme.

He told Sophie Raworth: “I’m exploring what I can do, I know that there are others who have. Without going into my personal circumstances, there are a couple of things I need to sort out – but yes.”

Mr Gove said there are potentially “hundreds of thousands of people” in the UK willing to take Ukrainians into their homes through the Government’s new sponsorship scheme.
