00:00This government is determined to follow the leadership of every British government
00:03since the Russian invasion and stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Ukraine against
00:07Russian aggression, which has intensified in recent weeks, with July the worst month
00:11for civilian casualties in Ukraine since 2022. My first foreign minister call was with my
00:16counterpart, Foreign Minister Sabia, and I had the privilege to meet with President Zelensky
00:20alongside the Prime Minister in my second week in the role. On Russian sanctions, on helping
00:24Ukraine with its defence and helping ensure it can prevail in the conflict, we will be with
00:28the people of Ukraine and its government as long as it takes.
