Shortly before the start of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, the British Defense Secretary visited Moscow. Ben Wallace met with Shoigu. The aggressor state assured that they would not invade Ukraine.
However, the British Minister of Defense already knew that Moscow was lying. Ben Wallace spoke about this in the documentary “Putin vs. the West”.
What exactly was Wallace told in Russia
Wallace said he visited Moscow February 11, 2022 to meet with Shoigu. The British Minister of Defense noted that he left for London with assurances that Russia was allegedly not going to invade Ukraine. However, Wallace knew that Moscow was lying.
He described the meeting as a “demonstration of intimidation or strength, that is: I'm going to lie to you, you know that I'm lying, and I know that you know that I'm lying and I'll still lie to you.”
“I think it was about saying, 'I'm strong,'” the British minister added. He also noted that such “enough a terrible but direct lie” confirmed his fears about Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
By the way, Valery Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian army, and now the commander of the occupiers, told Wallace that Russia “will never be humiliated again.”< /p>

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson spoke about a telephone conversation with Vladimir Putin on the eve of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Johnson warned that the war would be a “total disaster” to which the bunker dictator threatened a missile strike Putin said it would take “just a minute”.
