Attended the launch in
@UKParliament today of “Beyond Sanctuary: Building the future of Ukrainians in the UK” hosted by
@SirRogerGale MP. 5 keys “asks” in the report -see below.
Touched to have been given a painting by Zlata - a 10 year old - which was especially brought to Westminster by her mother, Suitlanas.
I will treasure Zlata’s painting.
It will bring to mind the countless Ukrainian children abducted by Putin and others killed in the barbaric and criminal assault on a sovereign nation.

Anna Dezyk, Deputy chair, Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain: “ Every November, Ukrainians worldwide place a candle in their window to commemorate the Holodomor, the man-made famine-genocide of 1932-33 in which millions of Ukrainians starved to death under Stalin’s regime… Stalin used deprivation and terror to weaken Ukraine and crush any resistance. Vladimir Putin’s invasion has brought displacement, destruction and suffering on a vast scale."
