A decisive victory for Ukraine is not just morally and geopolitically necessary to safeguard democratic values worldwide — it is a strategic imperative: Failure to act undermines and weakens our own country’s security.
Admiral Nelson’s daring leadership at the Battle of Trafalgar secured our nation’s future, our intervention in Kosovo helped protect vulnerable communities, and our decisive action in Sierra Leone rescued a country under siege.
Last night, when I saw the breaking news alert that Keir Starmer said he is ‘ready and willing’ to put UK troops on the ground, I felt both a chill run down my spine and a surge of pride.
By deploying British troops to Ukraine, we send an unequivocal message that the United Kingdom defends democracy.
The reality is simple: Ukraine must win now, not avoid defeat for another week.
