‘My heart goes out to the people of the Ukraine’-Julia Lopez MP.

Hornchurch and Upminster MP Julia Lopez today shares her views on the situation in the Ukraine.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a flagrant abuse of international law and I share in the Government’s total condemnation of this attack which will cost innocent lives. My heart goes out to the people of Ukraine as they bravely defend their country. The Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary have been clear that we will work with international partners to deliver a coordinated and unprecedented package of sanctions to ensure that Russia faces severe consequences for its actions. I look forward to further announcements on this in due course. The UK has been at the forefront in providing military assistance to Ukraine and I was pleased to see the Prime Minister confirm that we will continue to do what we can to boost Ukraine’s defensive abilities.’
