Quote: "I am determined to ensure that we continue to confront growing threats in the High North, that we continue to fulfil our obligations to NATO, and that we continue to step up support for Ukraine. And I say this to the Ukrainian people on behalf of the UK: we will not forget the war in Europe, and our total determination to stand with Ukraine remains steadfast."
