Prime Minister's statement on Russian drone attacks

A statement from the Prime Minister following Russian drone attacks.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said:

“This morning's barbaric attack on Ukraine and the egregious and unprecedented violation of Polish and NATO airspace by Russian drones is deeply concerning. 

“This was an extremely reckless move by Russia and only serves to remind us of President Putin's blatant disregard for peace, and the constant bombardment innocent Ukrainians face every day.

"I have been in touch with the Polish Prime Minister this morning to make clear our support for Poland, and that we will stand firm in our support for Ukraine.

“My sincere thanks go to the NATO and Polish forces who rapidly responded to protect the Alliance.

"With our partners – and through our leadership of the Coalition of the Willing – we will continue to ramp up the pressure on Putin until there is a just and lasting peace."
