đŸŽ„ Supporting Ukraine

  • Tweet
Saturday, 15 January, 2022

In Parliament this week, Jason spoke again in support of Huddersfield’s Ukrainian community amid fears of a Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Transcript from Hansard

Jason McCartney MP

I have a vibrant Ukrainian community in my constituency, many of whom I met earlier this month. Will the Prime Minister reassure them of our commitment to the defence support package for Ukraine and our readiness to unleash economic sanctions on Russia, and will he stand firm for freedom and democracy alongside the Ukrainian people?

 

The Prime Minister 

Yes, the UK has been at this for a long time now. It was an important signal, which I hope my hon. Friend will take back to his constituents, that we stuck up for Ukrainian rights of navigation when we sent HMS Defender through that route. If hon. Members remember, the Government came under pressure from people for taking what was described as a “provocative” route, but all we were doing was sticking up for the rights of freedom of navigation for the Ukrainians.
