Ukraine Update

Debate between Blair McDougall and Caroline Nokes

Tuesday 22nd April 2025 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Caroline Nokes)]

I am going to get all Members in, but that would be greatly helped if we could have shorter questions.

[Blair McDougall (East Renfrewshire) (Lab)]

Over recess, I delivered a message of solidarity from St Andrew’s church in Barrhead to St Andrew church in Bucha, the site of a horrific massacre. It was clear when I was in Kyiv that that brutality has meant the Ukrainians are still determined to fight, but again and again, they raised their concerns about their exposure and their overreliance on American air defence. What can we do to mitigate that, and what consideration has the Secretary of State given to creating an integrated air defence zone in the west of Ukraine?
