Valuable Political Visit to Ukraine

A recent trip to Ukraine highlights the ongoing political commitment between the UK and Ukraine as the foreign secretary, David Lammy, aims to strengthen support during the conflict. This visit coincides with the three-year anniversary of Russia's latest invasion and comes amid uncertainty regarding US involvement under new leadership. The trip was logistically challenging, requiring travel by land after flying to Poland due to safety concerns related to Russian threats. This first-hand experience allowed the foreign secretary to establish a connection with Ukrainian leaders and assess the atmosphere in a country grappling with war effects, all while emphasizing UK’s long-term support.
