Local MP, John Lamont, has commented after Russia invaded Ukraine.
The UK and her allies have announced a raft of severe sanctions on Russia and support for Ukraine in response.
John Lamont MP said:
“It is truly frightening to watch Russian tanks rolling into Ukraine – a free, democratic and peace-loving nation.
“However, we must not be cowed by this incursion by President Putin and his Russian army.
“The UK will stand alongside our international allies in defence of peace, democratic values and freedoms.
“It is a dark day for Europe. I, like many others, thought the days of invasion by dictators on European soil to be the stuff of history books rather than news bulletins in 2022.
“My thoughts are with the people of Ukraine. No doubt they are terrified by what is happening to their proud nation.”
