Quote: "Ukrainians need to strengthen their front line in the east and they will look to hold the territory in Kursk. The longer they hold Kursk, the weaker Putin becomes. The longer they hold Kursk, the better defended Ukraine will be."

Details: Stating that the defence of the UK starts in Ukraine, Healey said he is certain that if big countries redraw international borders by force, it will undermine the sovereignty and security of all nations.
