Guy Opperman MP news: MP marks Ukrainian Independence Day (24th August)
Hexham MP, Guy Opperman has showed his support in showing the UK’s solidarity with the people of Ukraine on 24 August on their Independence Day, 31 years since declaring independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, and exactly six months since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February.
The MP has commended the spirit and strength of the Ukrainian people as we continue to be inspired by their courage, defiance and bravery in the face of Russia’s unprovoked and illegal invasion by Russian troops in February.
Guy Opperman MP said:
“Today is Ukraine Independence Day. It is six months to the day since Putin’s invasion. A brutal event that has disfigured Ukraine and destabilised the world.
Our support to them must be resolute. They are still fighting. They will prevail.
The UK must stick the course with them”.
