Ukraine

Baroness Winterton of Doncaster Excerpts

Monday 20th May 2024 Commons Chamber

[Sir Bernard Jenkin]

I am going to bring my remarks to a close, if that is all right.

Even if we do not have enough kit to send to Ukraine, we could help the Ukrainians to make more kit themselves and significantly improve our training effort, which we now know is not providing the Ukrainians with the breadth or depth of training needed to win this war—I hope the Government will respond to that point. We must press the White House to understand that Ukraine must be enabled to win this war, or the war is lost. We must also keep encouraging our European allies to follow suit. We can all learn from the way that countries such as Finland and Poland have moved on to a war footing and are building much increased military capacity at less cost.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Rosie Winterton)]

I call the SNP spokesperson.
