I liked that Liz Truss said she was fully supportive of any UK people wanting to travel to Ukraine and volunteer to fight alongside them.
Whilst I am frustrated there are no UK boots on the ground in Ukraine, I also completely understand why we have not sent forces there. Putin is clearly unstable and I dread to think what he'd do if any NATO country sent troops in. Supply of armaments is absolutely the right thing to have done and to keep doing for as long as necessary. I have no doubt that unofficially we are giving way more support with a few crack units helping out.
The next thing is to offer all Ukrainian passport holders a two year visa to live and work here, effectively immediately. Priti Awful is wrong when she says we can't accommodate them.
I loved Kyiv when I was there in 2019 and I look forward to returning to see more of the country once Putin has been kicked out.Comment
