Conflict sparked by Russian invasion could last 'months, if not years', UK Deputy PM warns

The conflict in Ukraine is set to last months, if not years, the UK's Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab told Sky News, as he says allies need to show "strategic stamina" to ensure Russia's Vladimir Putin fails.

Dominic Raab said Ukrainian forces have "proved a far tougher prospect than Putin expected".

"I think we ought to be under no doubt that our mission with our Allies is to ensure Putin fails in Ukraine, and it's going to take some time," Dominic Raab stressed.
