MI6 chief warns Putin: We won't abandon Ukraine [View all]

The new head of MI6 will on Monday attack an “aggressive, expansionist” Russia, warning Vladimir Putin that Britain’s spies will not abandon Ukraine.

In her first speech from the MI6 headquarters, Blaise Metreweli will declare Britain’s commitment to Kyiv is steadfast, saying: “Putin should be in no doubt, our support is enduring. The pressure we apply on Ukraine‘s behalf will be sustained.”

Describing the risk Moscow poses to Britain, the 48-year-old, who took over as the head of the Secret Intelligence Service on Oct 1, will say: “The export of chaos is a feature, not a bug, in the Russian approach to international engagement and we should be ready for this to continue until Putin is forced to change his calculus.”

The intervention comes as Donald Trump’s administration continues to push for a peace deal to be in place by Christmas and pressures Ukraine to make significant territorial concessions.
