The outgoing spy chief said Putin was ‘stringing us along’ with promises of progress on peace
Meanwhile, the outgoing MI6 chief Richard Moore warned that he sees “no evidence” that Russian president Vladimir Putin has any interest in a negotiated peace short of Ukrainian capitulation, Reuters reported.
Speaking in Istanbul, he said that Putin was “stringing us along” with promises of progress on peace, AP added.
“He seeks to impose his imperial will by all means at his disposal. But he cannot succeed,” Moore said.
“Bluntly, Putin has bitten off more than he can chew. He thought he was going to win an easy victory. But he – and many others – underestimated the Ukrainians.”
