“We have information that indicates the Russian Government is looking to install a pro-Russian leader in Kyiv as it considers whether to invade and occupy Ukraine,” British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss’s team said Saturday. “The former Ukrainian MP Yevhen Murayev is being considered as a potential candidate.”
