Mr Lammy added: "As we mark three years since Putin launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine, we also mark three years of Britain standing united with Ukraine, supporting them through military and humanitarian aid, welcoming Ukrainian refugees to our communities and standing firm against Putin's aggression, his imperialist aims, and his threat to our continent's security.
Mr Lammy highlighted Britain’s commitment to provide £3 billion of military support each year to Ukraine “to put Ukraine in the strongest position possible” as well as Sir Keir’s offer to provide UK troops as part of peacekeeping forces if necessary.
Mr Trump has also been condemned for claiming that Kyiv started the war and describing Mr Zelensky as a “dictator”.He has also sidelined Ukraine from negotiations on ending the conflict with Russia, defying European calls for Mr Zelensky to have a role in peace talks.
Sir Keir Starmer is planning a ‘triple whammy’ of measures to support Kyiv, including the fresh sanctions as well as military aid and a crackdown on Russian dirty money in the UK.
Britain will hit Russia with new sanctions to mark the third anniversary of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine amid a growing rift between the US and Europe in support for Volodymyr Zelensky.
