LONDON (AA) – British Prime Minister Liz Truss met with President of the European Commission Ursula Von der Leyen at the UN General Assembly in New York on Wednesday.

A statement released by Downing Street said they both “strongly condemned” Russia’s actions in Ukraine and agreed that “Putin’s recent calls to mobilise parts of the population were a sign that Russia’s invasion is failing.”

It was a “statement of weakness,” the statement added.

The pair also praised the courage and bravery of the Ukrainian people and underlined their joint commitment to supporting Ukraine “as long as it takes.”

Other issues discussed at the meeting included energy, food security, and the Northern Ireland protocol.

Truss tweeted: “Putin's calls for mobilisation are a sure sign his barbaric invasion is failing. Any sham referendums in Ukrainian territory will not be recognised. @vonderleyen and I are united in our commitment to supporting Ukraine for as long as it takes.”

Von der Leyen tweeted that she had a “good discussion” with Truss, adding: “Russia's invasion is failing.”
