British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss on Friday slammed Russia's attack on neighbouring Ukraine as "barbaric" and "unjustified" and reiterated her country's backing for Kyiv.

"Solidarity with @DmytroKuleba and the Ukrainian people. Putin's assault on Ukraine is barbaric, unjustified and shows a callous disregard for human life," she said in a tweet.

"We will continue to hold Putin to account and remain steadfast in our support."
