In 1940 RAF Northolt in my constituency played a vital role in European security, with planes here fighting in the Battle of Britain.
With European security threatened once again, I hosted @JustinTrudeau and @MinPres here to ensure that Putin’s barbaric invasion ends in failure.

In another economic blow to the Putin regime following the illegal invasion of Ukraine, the UK will move away from dependence on Russian oil throughout this year, building on our severe package of international economic sanctions.
2229
Working with industry, we are confident that this can be achieved over the course of the year, providing enough time for companies to adjust and ensuring consumers are protected.

Never before in centuries of parliamentary history has the House of Commons listened to an address like that given by President @ZelenskyyUa today.
We will employ every method we can for however long it takes to ensure Putin’s invasion fails and Ukraine is free once more.
2231
The UK is the largest bilateral humanitarian donor to Ukraine and is leading the response against Russia’s invasion.
Alongside international partners and allies, we will continue to put pressure on Putin’s regime - economically, diplomatically and militarily, Putin must fail.
2232
Important discussions with #V4 partners yesterday, including reducing dependence on fossil fuels from Russia – vital in defending and improving our collective energy security.

There are few things more depraved than targeting the vulnerable and defenceless.
The UK is exploring more support for Ukraine to defend against airstrikes and we will hold Putin to account for his terrible crimes.

Congratulations to Yoon Suk-yeol for winning South Korea’s presidential election. 🇰🇷 is a friend and ally of the 🇬🇧 and I look forward to working closely together on our shared priorities, protecting freedom and security and promoting trade in the industries of the future.

I spoke to President @ZelenskyyUa to thank him for his address to the @HouseofCommons and to update him on our tough new sanctions against the Putin regime. We will tighten these to impose the maximum economic cost on Russia and are stepping up our military support to Ukraine.
2236
There can be no safe havens for those who have supported Putin's invasion.
Today's sanctions are the latest step in our ruthless pursuit of those who enable the killing of civilians, destruction of hospitals and illegal occupation of Ukraine.

Our National Shipbuilding Strategy refresh refocuses our attention on green technology, systems and supply chains.
With over £4bn of investment, the shipbuilding industry will go from strength to strength – creating new skilled jobs across the UK and levelling up our economy.
2238
Good to speak to @ZelenskyyUa again today to update him on the tough sanctions we are bringing in to hold the Putin regime and its supporters to account for Russia's vile actions.

I would like to express my thanks to the @LondonFire Brigade for their swift response in dealing with the fire on Pield Heath Road in my constituency yesterday.
Thankfully no injuries have been reported and an investigation to determine the cause is now underway.

Looking forward to welcoming Nordic and Baltic leaders to the UK this week.
European security has been shaken by Russia’s attack on Ukraine. We will take action to ensure we're insulated from Russian interference, emerging stronger and more united than before.
2246
Putin’s barbaric actions murdering Brent Renaud and other innocent civilians are testing not just Ukraine but all of humanity.
Speaking to President @ZelenskyyUa I assured him that we will continue to do all that we can to bring an end to this disastrous conflict.
2247
I am hugely grateful to our NHS staff, partners and Polish friends for their support in bringing Ukrainian children who need lifesaving medical care to the UK.
