Written statement (Wales): Statement on Ukraine - Mar 4

First Minister, Eluned Morgan MS: I am pleased that our support for Ukraine and its people has been, and will continue to be, unwavering.  

I am truly proud that Wales has given full support to Ukraine, from the moment Ukraine was illegally and brutally invaded by Vladimir Putin. Let me be clear, there can be no justification for the invasion of Ukraine, and we must stand full square behind President Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine.  

We, in Wales, have offered the hand of friendship to Ukraine and to Ukrainians who have lost their homes because of Russian aggression. We remain committed to helping Ukrainians who have been forced to leave their country.  

Our solidarity with Ukraine and its people is unequivocal, and we must continue to stand by our friends in Ukraine in these difficult times.
