00:00Mr Speaker, we should not forget that Putin's aggression, his illegal actions and his total

00:07disregard for human life has taken a huge toll on his own people. Thousands of Russian soldiers

00:15are killed every single day. A hundred thousand have been killed attacking Donetsk. In total,

00:23more than one million Russians have been killed or injured, all because of the depraved ambitions

00:30of one man. So, Mr Speaker, we say again, this country will never falter in our support for

00:46delivering the calm, serious leadership that is needed to advance a just and lasting peace

00:52for Ukraine and, indeed, for the whole of Europe.
