Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if she will take steps to commend President Zelenskyy for his response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The UK Government wholeheartedly commends President Zelenskyy for his leadership and for standing firm for democracy and freedom. President Zelekensyy inspired Members across the House with his address to Parliament on 8 March. We owe it to President Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine to do our utmost to help them in their brave fight. Putin's assault on Ukraine is an unprovoked, premeditated attack against a sovereign democratic state. We stand with Ukraine and will always defend the Ukrainian people's right to choose their own destiny.
