MP, Leader of the Labour
Party, speaking on the second anniversary of Putin’s
illegal invasion of Ukraine, said:
“The second anniversary of Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine
reminds us all of the strength, resilience, and courage of the
Ukrainian people. Our thoughts today are with those who have lost
their lives, their homes and their loved ones, and our hearts
with those who are displaced, traumatised, and grieving. They are
at the forefront of our minds as we stress our full and
unwavering support to their fight for freedom and justice.
“When I met President Zelenskyy in Kyiv one year ago, I assured
him that Britain stands united with Ukraine. That promise stands
firm. No matter who is in power in this country, Britain will
always back Ukraine. We will stand with them for as long as it
takes to win, because we know it is not just the future of
Ukraine at stake, but the future of democracy and global
stability. We cannot and will not allow the cowardice and
barbarity of Putin to prevail.
“The resistance of the Ukrainian people has inspired and humbled
the world. The UK and our allies will stand in solidarity with
them until their day of victory. We will not waiver. We will not
abandon them. We will not be divided in the face of tyranny or
oppression. We look together to the day when Ukraine secures
justice and liberty in their rightful homeland, when Ukrainians
can return home and rebuild their great country, and live
peacefully, freely, and proudly.”
