00:00The G20 also coincided with a thousand days of conflict in Ukraine,
00:07and for the third year running, Putin did not attend. Instead, on the eve of the summit,
00:16he launched Russia's biggest attack for months, killing yet more innocent Ukrainians
00:22and hitting civilian energy infrastructure at the start of winter. And he indulged yet again
00:29in dangerous, irresponsible rhetoric. Mr Speaker, this is a member of the Security Council acting
00:38with contempt for the UN Charter. And while Brazil made finding solutions to hunger and poverty
00:46the focus of its presidency, in recent weeks Russian missiles have continued to rain down
00:54on civilian ships carrying grain bound for Africa. It could not be more clear.
01:02This is a man who wants destruction, not peace. And after a thousand days of war,
01:09a thousand days of Ukrainian bravery and sacrifice, I am clear that we must double down
01:16in our support. We will not be deterred or distracted by reckless threats. We have
01:22consistently said we will do what it takes to support Ukraine and put it in the best possible
01:29position going into the winter. The UK's support for Ukraine is always for self-defence. It is
01:38proportionate, coordinated and agile, and a response to Russia's own actions. And it is in
01:46accordance with international law. Russia could roll back their forces and end this war tomorrow.
01:55But until then, we will stand up for what we know is right,
01:59for Ukraine's security and for our own security.
