Rishi Sunak twice declines to rule out going to the country in July; the PM's flagship Rwanda bill has passed through parliament, but a minister has acknowledged further challenges to the controversial legislation are 'inevitable'.
We must support Ukraine in the long-term, the PM adds.'Since the Cold War ended, the freedom of our continent has been based a simple idea - that it is for people to decide the fate of their countries, not foreign armies,' he says.Rishi Sunak says if Vladimir Putin were to win in Ukraine then the 'principle of sovereignty would be undermined'.
'He has the desire, if not yet the capacity to attack other countries in Europe, potentially including NATO allies, who we would be bound to defend just as they are bound to defend us.'The cost of failing to support Ukraine now will be 'far greater' than the costs of repelling Putin, he adds.He says the UK will hit £3bn in support for Ukraine this year.
