 The twelve months ago Russian tanks in the early hours of the morning rolled across the Russian border to start the illegal invasion of Ukraine, they did so with an ambition of effectively occupying and capturing the major cities within three weeks and then sending people who disagreed with them through filtration camps and effectively turning Ukraine into a client state of Russia. And I think what we've seen in the last twelve months is tremendous bravery by Ukrainian men and women standing to fight for their own country. Tremendous brutality and war crimes inflicted on them by a Russian state still determined to try and effectively destroy Ukraine. But an international community that's solid and at the heart of that solid effort has been Britain, her allies such as the United States, other European countries like France and Germany, Scandinavian countries and the Eastern Europeans such as Poland. It was about two, three in the morning and I had to go to a location to get a classified briefing and I remember leaving really, really early in pretty fast speed and my police escorts to take me to get to red in to what was happening and you know it was a war at the time. You know people were, we didn't know what was going to happen, no one really knew how long Ukraine had to fight, everyone had underestimated them, obviously they were frightened in some account and we saw the scale of the Russian forces so it was really important there and then to see what we could do. It was important to give them some lethal weapons to allow them to defend themselves and we put in very early on the end laws, the light anti-tank weapons that are made in Belfast and we had put them in already which allowed us to then build on that to bring together an international group of donors and I held the first donors conference about the day after the invasion. We had about 25 countries, mainly European, NATO countries and we started that momentum of bringing real support to the people of Ukraine, both lethal and non-lethal aid. You know we know, we are one of the few countries, we know what it's like to be outnumbered and alone against an overwhelming aggressor. That was us in 1939, remember we stood on our own, we were outnumbered by the Luftwaffe, we were a country where internally there was always these debates about did we seek appeasement, did we seek an accommodation and if you remember Winston Churchill very much took the view way before anyone else that we should be arming, re-arming our country but also standing and fighting and a vote for British spirit and I think you see that in Ukraine, you know they are outnumbered, they have, that 65% of Russian armed forces now is 97% of our whole armed forces is committed to trying to achieve victory in Ukraine. 97% of the world's biggest country and it's not having a success but that shows what they're up against and I think Britain and Ukraine have that common sense of shared experience. Britain is going to be there to the end with Ukraine, we're going to follow it through, we're going to keep standing by them, we will do all the things we can to help them succeed in making sure that Putin fails in Ukraine.
