I vowed the UK would stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes - and long after.

Throughout this conflict, I have seen the incredible fortitude of the Ukrainian people and the iron will of a nation that refuses to be cowed.

I'm proud to have turned the Labour Party around, to have won a general election, and to put the party on a good footing.

The UK's support for Ukraine will not waver. I say that with real confidence because it has not wavered since the outbreak of this conflict.
