House of Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle: We will continue supporting Ukrainians, providing military aid and training Ukrainian troops  

Lindsay Hoyle, Speaker of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, made the statement at the First Parliamentary Summit of the International Crimea Platform, reports Ukrinform.

"The wave of missile strikes on cities across Ukraine has targeted parks and roads used by civilians, proving that nobody is safe from the ire of the aggressor, Vladimir Putin,” the speaker said.

Hoyle also added that the summit participants would be able to demonstrate to Putin that his actions would only increase their solidarity in supporting Ukraine.

"We will continue to support those Ukrainians fleeing the war, provide military hardware to the Ukrainian armed forces and training to thousands of Ukrainian troops to help them resist this illegal invasion," he promised.

He noted that Great Britain fully supports Ukraine and the liberation of Crimea.

“Together we will send Putin a message that is crystal clear. He cannot win. He will not win. And peace and democracy in Ukraine, including Crimea, will prevail," Hoyle added.

• As reported earlier, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, expressed his hope that the Crimean platform should contribute to the de-occupation of Crimea and other territories occupied by the Russian Federation.
