Boris Johnson has sent a grim warning to Western leaders not to agree a “bad peace” in Ukraine - saying it would be a “disaster”. Speaking before the G7 and Nato summits, the Prime Minister admitted “fatigue” is now setting in over the four-month-old invasion. But he said backing down now would “trigger” new brutality by Vladimir Putin “whenever he wanted”. Mr Johnson also refused to rule out putting UK troops in harm’s way to get grain out of the Russian-blockaded Black Sea port of Odessa. “There is a very strong moral case for trying to get the grain from Odessa,” he said. “It is 23 million tonnes. Basically it is going off.” It came as Foreign Secretary Liz Truss today accused Russia of "weaponising hunger" and using food security as a "callous tool of war" with its blockade of Ukrainian grain.
