Watch live as Liz Truss and Ukrainian foreign secretary deliver speech on Russia tensions

Watch live as Liz Truss and her Ukrainian counterpart give joint statements.

The British foreign secretary will meet with Dmytro Kuleba after arriving in Ukraine to show solidarity amid the rising tensions with Russia.

Earlier today, Ms Truss accused Russia of "blatant" efforts to "fabricate pretexts for invasion".

The Foreign Secretary said claims of "abnormal" activity by Ukrainian forces were "straight out of the Kremlin playbook".

She also condemned the shelling of a preschool by pro-Russian forces which, according to Ukrainian media outlets, left two teachers concussed.
