The foreign secretary will say Ukraine's fate 'remains in the balance' and she will argue the war needs to be a catalyst for change in the way that global security works.

The foreign secretary is expected to say the West cannot get complacent over Ukraine because if Mr Putin succeeds"there will be untold further misery across Europe and terrible consequences across the globe".

Her suggestion for a"new approach" will include stronger defence based on collectively investing to correct a"generation of under-investment, with 2% of GDP a floor not a ceiling". She will also argue economic security needs to be boosted to reduce economic dependency on aggressors and to create stronger trade, investment, science and tech ties among allies.
