The first joint visit of this kind to anywhere in the world for well over a decade .

I was particularly moved to see in Kyivans the same Blitz spirit which Londoners displayed when resisting fascism decades ago .

Putin ’s full-scale invasion in 2022 did not come out of nowhere.

It was part of a long history of Russian imperialism in Ukraine , including in Crimea .

As I left Ukraine , I could not help but reflect on how Putin ’s imperialist actions are having the opposite effect.

Putin does not believe Ukraine and other countries in the region should get a choice.

In the twenty-first century , I agree with my progressive colleague Penny Wong , who said in a speech in London last year , “we need to offer countries choices”.
