We need a coalition of the willing to support Ukraine if a peace deal is reached.
Russia is the aggressor. Zelenskyy is a war leader whose country has been invaded. And we should all be supporting him and not fawning over Putin.
Do I believe Donald Trump when he says he wants lasting peace? The answer to that is yes.
I’ve always been clear that that is going to need a U.S. backstop because I don’t think it would be a guarantee without it.
In the end, a deal will have to involve Russia, of course it will, but we can’t approach this on the basis that Russia dictates the terms of any security guarantee before we’ve even got to a deal – otherwise, we won’t make any progress at…
One thing our history tells us is that if there is conflict in Europe, it will wash up on our shores.
I'm not going to be diverted by the SNP or others trying to ramp up the rhetoric without really appreciating what is the single most important thing at stake here - we're talking about peace in Europe.
If there is to be a deal, if there is to be a stopping of the fighting, then that agreement has to be defended.
We gather here today because this is a once-in-a-generation moment for the security of Europe and we all need to step up.
As you heard from the cheers on the street outside, you have full backing across the United Kingdom. We stand with you, with Ukraine, for as long as it may take.
In relation to free speech in the UK, I'm very proud of our history there… We've had free speech for a very, very long time in the United Kingdom and it will last for a very, very long time.
I think that European countries, including the United Kingdom, need to step up in our own defense and security.
Everybody wants peace, everybody wants bloodshed to end. Not least the Ukrainians.
It is essential that Ukraine be backed by strength that will stop Putin coming back for more.
We want to work with you, we want to welcome you to Britain, we want a new partnership, because our history shows that when we work together, great things happen.
there is no more important relationship for the United Kingdom [than the U.S.], in defense, in security, in trade, in tech, in finance, and so much more.
