Ukraine: Reparation

Lord Hannay of Chiswick Excerpts

Monday 23rd March 2026 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)]

We are working very closely with allies and partners in the Middle East. We have announced very recently some additional funding, particularly for Lebanon, which has been a long-standing host for displaced people, and the same in Jordan and elsewhere. We will continue to play the fullest role in supporting those displaced communities.

[Lord Hannay of Chiswick (CB)]

My Lords, can the Minister say whether, in the discussion that the Prime Minister had at the weekend with the President of the United States, he drew attention to the talks that President Zelensky had with us in Westminster last week and emphasised the need to keep the pressure on Russia? Given President Trump’s capacity to change his mind, might it not be worth having another go at that?

[Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)]

The Prime Minister does not need me to remind him to raise the importance of standing shoulder to shoulder with President Zelensky and the people of Ukraine at every opportunity. I know that he does this and will continue to do so.
