Sir Keir said in a remote address to a gathering of Ukraine’s allies in Kyiv on Monday that a new package of UK sanctions would be imposed on Russia to get President Vladimir Putin “not just to talk, but to make concessions”.
The shadow foreign secretary was among MPs who attended a prayer service at a Ukrainian church in central London to mark the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion.
He told the service the church would sometimes conduct funerals, marriage ceremonies and baptisms of Ukrainian military personnel all in one morning.
Gen Zaluzhnyi, who met Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in Kyiv last month, said in a short speech: “For three years, our people have been fighting for not just our land, but for our freedom and justice.
Hymns, prayers and a commemorative candle lighting were delivered during the hour-long interfaith service at the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral in Westminster on Monday.
