And here is a summary of the other points from Dominic Raab’s interviews this morning.
In relation to the Europeans, of course they’re closer to Ukraine. And, as the Ukrainian ambassador to the UK said over the weekend, it will often be the case that, first priority, most Ukrainians want to stay in Ukraine, but if they leave, they will want to be as close to their home country as possible in order to be able to come back at some point in the future.
This is turning into a much, much more perilous misadventure for Putin than I think he realised and it has a demoralised effect on Russia forces and it has had the effect of steeling the will of the Ukrainian people.
That’s how we will ensure Putin fails in Ukraine and we’re there for the long haul.
I can’t comment on that. We’ve been clear that we’ve provided training, we’ve provided anti-tank weapons and all I would say is nothing is off the table.
That will starve Putin’s war machine and will also put pressure on many of the oligarchs who need access to the international system and who will apply pressure on Putin.
I think it also shows the Russian people at large – and we’re certainly not targeting them – but it’s inevitable that Russia’s and Putin’s misadventure, his catastrophic decision, will be disastrous for the Russian people. It will show them the economic cost to them of getting bogged down in this unwarranted, unjustifiable war.
