Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 January 2026

Debate

Contribution

A secure Europe needs a strong Ukraine, but we can get a peace deal only if Putin is ready to make compromises. Over the Christmas period, he showed that he was still not ready for peace, with hundreds of drones and missiles being fired into Ukraine and Russian attacks continuing on the front line, so in 2026 we will continue, with other nations, to step up our military support still further. Our mission is to support the fight today, as well as to secure the peace tomorrow.
