Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer paid a visit to Ukrainian and British Army personnel at Salisbury Plain on the country's independence day yesterday.
Sir Starmer met British soldiers on Wednesday, August 24, and saw Ukranian soldiers being trained by the army as part of Operation Interflux.
He said: "My mission, my message to the Ukrainian people, to our troops, our Nato allies, is that on the issue of defending Ukraine against Russian aggression, we stand united.
"We will not be divided politically in the United Kingdom on this and I've been able to deliver that message first-hand amongst this very, very impressive training."
Ukraine's independence day marked 31 years since breaking from Moscow's rule following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
