Liz Truss has ruled out sending British forces to Ukraine if she becomes prime minister, APA reports citing BBC.

The Tory leadership hopeful told BBC Radio 4's Today program she would not support sending UK troops to help combat Russian forces.

"But I do not support the direct involvement of UK troops."
