Text

The Minister will be aware that the reason why we have so many Ukrainian refugees is that Russia is attacking them. There are near-daily air attacks. Will the Minister reflect on her remark that she was incredulous that we would support the Ukrainians by giving them the opportunity to defend themselves? Does she not think that that goes counter to her answer to my question? How could she be incredulous?
