Conservative — Stone, Great Wyrley and Penkridge

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 January 2025

Debate

UK-Ukraine 100-year Partnership

Contribution

I very much welcome the Foreign Secretary’s statement. As he will know, in order to have an enduring peace, there will need to be credible deterrence for Ukraine. We have already seen the development of deterrence in eastern nations such as Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania through the enhanced forward presence. Is the Foreign Secretary thinking of opening up discussions about how we could do that in Ukraine in the future, establishing an enhanced forward presence to underpin its security?
