Since the Cold War ended, the freedom of our continent has been based a simple idea - that it is for people to decide the fate of their countries, not foreign armies.
And Putin will not stop in Ukraine. Win there and he and indeed others will be emboldened. He has the desire, if not yet the capacity to attack other countries in Europe, potentially including NATO allies, who we would be bound to defend just as they are bound to defend us.
To fail supporting Ukraine means there will be a 'far greater' costs than had they repelled Putin by sending weaponry to Kyiv.
We will provide them with the largest ever package of UK military equipment - this will include more than 400 vehicles, £4m rounds of ammunition, 60 boats and offshore raiding craft, vital air defences and long-range precision-guided storm shadow missiles.
