00:00 "We are one of Ukraine's most significant supporters, particularly when it comes to
00:05 providing military aid. I'm pleased to be here today to announce an increase in the
00:10 aid that we're providing. The aid that we've got in place already runs through to the early
00:14 part of this year, so we're acting in advance of that expiring with a new commitment of
00:18 two and a half billion pounds, more than we've provided in previous years. It represents
00:22 the seriousness of the situation here and our determination to stand with Ukraine. And
00:26 that's why I'm here on my first foreign visit of this year, the first foreign leader to
00:29 visit Ukraine this year. I want to send a strong signal of support to the Ukrainian
00:35 people, but also a strong signal of support that Vladimir Putin needs to recognise we're
00:39 not going anywhere. I'm here with one clear message - the United Kingdom stands with Ukraine."
