There have to be rigorous checks so that people are not put through into a situation where they are out without the relevant safeguards, and absolutely, I can give you a commitment that that is the clear instruction that I am giving. That all relevant and necessary checks must be done.
Emphasis on necessary checks for small boat crossings.

Obviously, it’s been a difficult few days for President Zelensky, and that’s why I invited him to the UK to give him that lift, and to see what more we could do.
That is my view. I communicated it to the first secretary [sic] very clearly, and he has a different view.
It is quite clear once again to the world who the aggressor is in this conflict, and we will use whatever influence we have got as the UK to bring the parties together behind President Zelensky and Ukraine.
We obviously have close conversations with our US counterparts, and what I’m going to do is build that bridge and make sure that we’re still all working together to support Ukraine.
