"The rest of the world - other regimes - will be looking at this and saying, 'does the West just get bored after a couple of years?'" the defence secretary said, speaking to BBC Breakfast on the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion. “If we do, that will be fatal... it matters to use because the world won't be safe unless we stop a tyrant like [Vladimir] Putin."
