Debate between Mark Logan and Elizabeth Truss

Monday 28th February 2022 Commons Chamber

[Elizabeth Truss]

There is a big difference between Russian people and supporters of the Putin regime. It is important that we do not tar every single Russian, many of whom have gained British citizenship and are part of our political process, with the same brush.

[Mark Logan (Bolton North East) (Con)]

Hundreds of people rallied at Bolton town hall on Saturday. We have one of the most established Ukrainian diaspora communities in the UK outside London. Will the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office agree to meet the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain to discuss the UK’s resolve for their friends and family? We are with them, and freedom will prevail.

[Elizabeth Truss]

We would be absolutely delighted to do that.
