I welcome these developments and these decisions but its for individual allies to make the final decisions,
But I continue to believe that the biggest risk for us, for United Kingdom, for NATO, will be if President Putin wins in Ukraine,
I think it is important for us to start from the fundamental position, which is that this is an illegal war started by Russia and, as a result, Ukraine has the right to self defence, and we have all – Italy, the UK and other allies, Nato allies in particular – been standing with Ukraine.
It's a war against the values of democracy, of freedom and the rule of law, which apply to all of us in our respective countries, but across all of the allies.
With regards to Ukraine, of course, Kyiv, it is very important for us that Kyiv has the very best conditions to sit at the peace table
The leaders … reaffirmed their unwavering support for Ukraine as it continues to defend against Russia’s aggression,
One thing doesn’t determine the end of a conflict or the transition in that conflict,
Everyone knows where Russian missile launchers are being deployed, and what logistics routes are critical for the Russian occupation forces. All of this can be destroyed in a matter of months,
Routh frequently posted on social media about the war in Ukraine and had a website where he sought to raise money and recruit volunteers to go to Kyiv to join the fight against the Russian invasion,
Can we please just make the inevitable decision to help Ukraine here, and not repeat the drawn out, timid decision-making process that accompanied decisions around HIMARS, self-propelled artillery, tanks, Patriot, and F16s?

Ukraine has a right to self-defense, and we’ve stood united,
The Secret Service agent that was on the course did a fantastic job,
My resolve is only stronger after another attempt on my life!”
In the bushes where this guy was is an AK-47 style rifle with a scope, two backpacks which were hung on the fence that had a ceramic tile in them,
If the allies are jointly shooting down missiles and drones in the skies over the Middle East, why is there still no similar decision to jointly shoot down Russian missiles and Iranian Shaheds over Ukraine?"
It is heartbreaking to visit wounded veterans in recovery centres – as I have in Kyiv this weekend – where Ukrainian heroes are being treated for the injuries they have suffered in the past few months, and to think that some of these casualties could have been avoided if we had given Storm Shadow permissions earlier
In terms of what the Ukrainians do, in our view, it is their decision about how to use these weapons, they're defending their country, they were illegally invaded by Putin and they must take those steps.
It's important that as allies supporting Ukraine, we have a shared strategy to win going forward,
It is difficult to repeatedly hear, "We are working on this" while Putin continues to burn down our cities and villages
