Emily Thornberry

Labour — Islington South and Finsbury

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 January 2026

Debate

Ukraine

Contribution

I am listening very carefully to what the right hon. Gentleman says, and I take on board his points, but we have yet to give sufficient emphasis to whether Putin actually wants peace. I fully understand that plans need to be made in case there is a peace, but that is rather based on the idea that he wants to stop, and I, for one, am not really sure that he does.
