Lord Campbell-Savours (Lab) [V]

Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 September 2026

Debate

Ukraine and Russia

Contribution

My Lords, why do not we put aside our immediate reservations about Trump, with all his idiosyncrasies—certainly following his disastrous miscalculations on intervention in the Middle East—join his people in any talks that might take place seeking a settlement in the Ukraine conflict, and then, if we want to be more adventurous, as a compromise, promote the idea of protectorate status in eastern Ukraine to include Donetsk and Luhansk, underpinned by guarantees from the major powers, to include the United States, Europe and Russia? There are precedents. We need to think out of the box and stem the escalation referred to by my noble friend in his Statement.
