I will certainly come back, but if I am able to update the House as we go along, I will endeavour to do so, so that others can ask questions about it.

I welcome the Prime Minister’s commitment to ensuring that decisions about Ukraine are not taken without Ukraine, and to upholding Ukraine’s sovereignty. Yet we know that Russia is trying to use this negotiation to undermine the future security not only of Ukraine but of Europe. In the light of the ongoing negotiations, will the Prime Minister confirm that any future deal will reject Russia’s references to

“ambiguities of the last 30 years”—

code for unravelling NATO back to 1997—and reject attempts to determine which nations may join NATO or where NATO may put its military assets?

I thank the hon. Gentleman for that, because we must always remember that this is about Europe as well as Ukraine. Putin’s ambitions are not limited to Ukraine, as the bordering countries are intensely aware. It is therefore important that we see this for what it is, and act accordingly as European allies.
