Ukraine

[Your CLP] notes that:

  • The Labour government is committed to supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia.
  • Since 2022, the UK Government has pledged at least £12.8 billion in financial and military aid to Ukraine.
  • Over 45,000 Ukrainian personnel have been trained by UK forces under Operation INTERFLEX and this will continue until at least the end of 2025.
  • The UK has imposed and maintained strict sanctions against Russia, aiming to undermine its military capabilities.

 

[Your CLP] believes that:

  • The Government must continue its unwavering support for Ukraine until Putin has fully withdrawn from Ukrainian territory.
  • Both military and non-military aid, including humanitarian support, are crucial to Ukraine's ability to fight back against Russia and rebuild its nation.
  • NATO has a vital role in securing Ukraine’s sovereignty and ensuring stability in Europe, and the alliance must continue to strengthen its support for Ukraine’s defence capabilities.
  • Ukraine must be part of any formal discussions with Russia about ending the war.

 

[Your CLP] resolves to:

  • Support the Government’s plans to spend 2.5% of GDP on the defence budget by 2027, ensuring the UK remains prepared to meet future security challenges.
  • Support putting UK troops on the ground in Ukraine to guarantee its security as part of any peace deal.
  • Consider making a donation to a charity appeal supporting Ukraine such as the Red Cross’ Ukraine Crisis Appeal.
  • Actively campaign to raise awareness about the importance of continued support for Ukraine in local communities.
