Refugees from Ukraine

Debate between Anne McLaughlin and Eddie Hughes

Wednesday 16th March 2022 Commons Chamber

[Eddie Hughes]

I will give way in a few minutes. Just give me a chance to build up.

We have also supplied lethal weapons; Ukraine is at war. We are providing the weaponry that it needs to sustain its position. We have introduced financial sanctions to ensure that we are putting a squeeze on Russia, as it is important that there is a military and a financial aspect to this war. I am very proud that we have 1,000 troops on standby in neighbouring countries, helping those people who are fleeing.

If the hon. Lady will bear with me, I need to courteously give way to my hon. Friend on the left.
