Andy Burnham: “I have to keep my distance from it. It would be wrong for me to do anything else.”

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.

That is my view. I communicated it to the first secretary [sic] very clearly, and he has a different view.

I'll come back to what I said at Liverpool, you heard my views.

I was proud of the reception that the UK gave to the Ukrainian president yesterday.
