To ask His Majesty’s Government what action they plan to take following the announcement of a deal between the United States of America and Russia on diesel exports.

My Lords, the quickest way to get diesel back on to world markets is a full energy ceasefire, with both sides, Ukraine and Russia, stopping attacks. We therefore welcome President Trump’s call for a reciprocal energy ceasefire and President Zelensky’s readiness to implement it once a start date is confirmed. The Prime Minister reiterated his complete solidarity with Ukraine and our determination to strengthen sanctions on Russia when he spoke to President Zelensky on Saturday, ahead of further talks in London today.

I thank my noble friend the Minister and the Prime Minister for their strong words of solidarity with President Zelensky and the people of Ukraine. I am sure that Members across your Lordships’ House will today welcome President Zelensky to London and express full solidarity with him in this very difficult week for him and his people.

The coalition of the willing was established to provide diplomatic and material support for the Ukrainian Government and the people of Ukraine in this constant fight for their sovereignty. The coalition includes most European countries, but also, of course, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. What are the Government doing to look at expanding the coalition, in these challenging circumstances, to involve more countries in providing that material and diplomatic support, and what is being done to mobilise the coalition to support Ukraine through what is going to be a very difficult winter ahead?

I thank my noble friend for that question and reiterate what he said about how welcome President Zelensky is today. I had the

privilege, in fact, of greeting him on his arrival in central London and he will be having discussions with the Prime Minister later on. My noble friend is also right that the coalition of the willing serves a number of functions. It serves the primary function, as my noble friend said, of providing military support. I am pleased to say that under both Conservative and Labour Governments, in the last four and a half years, we have provided more than £25 billion of support. The coalition also provides budgetary support for Ukraine’s finances, which have been catastrophically affected by the conflict. It provides constant diplomatic support, but it also thinks ahead to a world in which security guarantees will be needed and looks to think about arrangements for that. As for expanding the coalition of the willing, my noble friend is right. There is scarcely a meeting that I or the Foreign Secretary have in which we do not talk about the help that existing and prospective members of the coalition can provide, and that will continue to be a theme of our discussions.

This deal is outrageous and unnecessary, because the President is lifting sanctions on Russia and threatening new sanctions on Ukraine. No wonder the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations said that the United States

“should not provide Putin with a financial lifeline while Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians”.

Will the British Government, when meeting President Zelensky in London today, not only repeat that we stand four-square behind Ukraine but say that we are angered and dismayed that the White House is acting for Putin?

I thank the noble Lord for that question. We will certainly be reiterating, and have reiterated already, our unquestioning and continuing support for Ukraine—military, budgetary, diplomatic and other kinds of support. As my right honourable friend the Defence Secretary said on Sunday, we have made different choices. We think—I am pleased to say that this is across the coalition of the willing more broadly —that the approach to Russia has to be consistently focused on exerting pressure through sanctions and other kinds of pressure to force Russia to the table that President Zelensky has already said he is prepared to go to, to discuss a ceasefire and future arrangements.
