The Prime Minister and Sir Keir Starmer both emphasize the escalating threats posed by Vladimir Putin, highlighting Russian military actions near the UK and past assassination attempts, such as the Litvinenko poisoning. Starmer warns that failing to confront Putin's aggressive tactics could result in economic repercussions for the UK, including a prolonged cost-of-living crisis. He asserts the necessity for a just and lasting peace to mitigate these growing insecurities and avert further destabilization in Europe.
Putin's appetite for conflict and for chaos is already there, and it will only grow. Russia is menacing our skies, our waters, our streets and our national security.
I profoundly believe that if we don't secure a just peace and a lasting peace, then that insecurity, which we've already felt, will continue.
