British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss ruled out lifting sanctions on Russian oligarchs. She stated this in an interview with The Times..

" These oligarchs let Vladimir Putin do what he does. There is blood on his hands,"

She also believes Russian oligarch and Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich will not be able to return to the UK..

"

The West should learn from what it hasn't done to contain Russia since the Cold War, British diplomat says.

" I think the West started to let down its guard during the Blair years (Tony Blair - British Prime Minister 1997-2007. – Red. ) and continued to the present day. There were a number of turning points. And at every moment, the West did not take seriously what Putin planned,"

Reconciliation with authoritarian regimes, according to Truss, should no longer happen.

" It's a common problem. In general, the free world has focused too much on getting cheap oil, cheap electronics, cheap goods at the expense of our freedom and security."
