I'm in Kyiv to sound the alarm, because what would it mean if we allowed a dictator like Putin to take over a democratic country? What would you say about our values of freedom and democracy

He emphasized that this should not be the case, so the West can easily attract resources if it has the will.

According to him, the United Kingdom has done more than ever, providing the largest military support package to date. Shapps emphasized that every nation must do the same and ensure that freedom prevails over tyranny.
