Inna Sovsun, deputy leader of the Holos Party, hopes Grant Shapps will gain a ‘better understanding’ of the situation in Ukraine.
A Ukrainian MP has urged newly appointed Defence Secretary Grant Shapps to “personally come to Ukraine” to establish good relations.
Speaking from Kyiv, she told the PA news agency: “Ben Wallace is a friend to Ukraine and we very much appreciate everything that he has done.”She said: “I think that for him personally coming here to talk to… the minister of defence of Ukraine, Ukrainian military, members of parliament, the president, that this will give him a better feel of the challenges that we are facing, and it will help him build a better understanding of how to move forward with it.
She said: “I very much hope he would be able to establish himself as a strong leader of the coalition as Ben Wallace has been. Ms Sovsun urged Mr Shapps and people in the UK to “remember” the hardships that Ukrainians continue to face on a daily basis after she “woke up from explosions”.“My partner is on the front line, so I think about him and I’m constantly worried about him.
