Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 December 2024

Debate

Ukraine

Contribution

Our support to Ukraine is a core UK national interest. A Russian victory would diminish the West’s global standing, create a zone of instability on our eastern flank, and embolden Putin and other autocrats. This could require cold war levels of defence spending. On 19 November, we passed a grim milestone—1,000 days since Putin launched his full-scale invasion. Millions of Ukrainians have been displaced from their homes or forced into exile, and as we know from our constituencies, we have homes full of Ukrainian families.
