- Foreign Secretary David Cameron will underline the UK’s unwavering support for Ukraine in his first meeting with NATO Foreign Ministers
- He will attend the NATO-Ukraine Council in Brussels tomorrow (Wednesday, November 29)
During a meeting of Foreign Ministers in Brussels today (28 November), Foreign Secretary David Cameron will galvanise support for Ukraine among NATO Allies.
At a gathering of the NATO-Ukraine Council tomorrow (29 November), due to be attended by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba, the Foreign Secretary will update his counterparts on his recent visit to Kyiv, his first trip in his new role, and underline that the UK remains firmly behind Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression, urging Allies not to waver in their support.
The Foreign Secretary will also set out the need for Sweden’s urgent accession to the Alliance, stating that the agreement would mark a critical step forward in strengthening peace and stability in Europe.
The Foreign Secretary, David Cameron, said:
NATO keeps over one billion people safe and secure. And nearly 75 years on, the Alliance is stronger than ever.
Putin first believed that NATO would be divided and that Ukraine would crumble. Now he believes he can wait out his war in Ukraine. He was wrong then and he is wrong now.
Together, the UK and our NATO allies will never turn a blind eye to Russian aggression. The UK will continue to be a steadfast supporter of Ukraine and a champion for European peace and stability.
