Tusk: “Anyone who, for reasons of betrayal, stupidity or money, wants to weaken Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression is acting directly against their own nation, the security of their own country and its sovereignty.”

Tusk: “Anyone who tries to draw a false equivalence, anyone who suggests that Ukraine is responsible for the war, is giving an extraordinarily valuable gift to the aggressor, Putin.”

Burnham started his much-needed assault on Brexit yesterday by confirming Russian interference in the vote.
