Foreign Secretary David Cameron says the relationship between the UK and US has “never been more important”.
He says it is “important we go on funding Ukraine” and helping the country “in every way we can”.
“I see it as the challenge of our generation,” he says.
“Just as my grandfather’s generation had to fight off Nazi aggression in Europe, we are fighting against Russian aggression in Europe.”
Lord Cameron goes on to say this is not just an issue of European security it is an issue about US security too.
He adds: “If we don’t stop Putin in Ukraine, he will be back for more. We know that.
“And next time it could well be a NATO ally.”
Is the war slipping away from Ukraine?
Asked if the war was slipping away from Ukraine amid a slow counteroffensive, Lord Cameron says the overall picture showed Vladimir Putin had lost a big proportion of his fleet and troops.
He says Mr Putin has also seen NATO grow and “be more confident and united”.
“I think when you zoom out and look at the big picture you can see the strong position Ukraine has put itself in through its bravery and through our support,” he says.
What do we know about the Russian cyber attacks?
Russian cyberattackers have been accused of targeting British democracy ahead of next year’s general election.
The Foreign Office has summoned the Russian ambassador, and sanctioned a Russian intelligence officer along with a second member of the “Star Blizzard” group, which is believed to be controlled by the Centre 18 unit of the FSB.
MPs, Lords, civil servants, journalists and others have been targeted in attempts to “meddle in British politics”, Foreign Office minister Leo Docherty told MPs.
So who are the attackers and how worried should we be?
