Starmer and Sunak Condemn Farage's Comments on Ukraine War
ai generated text
Nigel Farage, a prominent figure in the UK's populist right, has sparked controversy by claiming that the West provoked Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This statement was made during an election campaign visit in London and has been widely condemned by politicians across the spectrum. Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister, described Farage's comments as "completely wrong" and stated that they "play into Putin's hands." Sir Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, also criticized Farage's remarks, calling them "disgraceful."
I think this is sad desperation that the veterans minister is attacking another veteran who's got a proud record of service. It's desperate.
Putin bears responsibility, sole responsibility, for the Russian aggression in Ukraine.
It underlines everything I've thought for a long time, which is that this Conservative Party now is party first through and through and country second, and in my view that is the wrong way round, is why we're in the mess we are in in this country.
I think the election is an opportunity to reset politics, bring debate together, bring people together.
These are disgraceful comments, which reveal the true face of Nigel Farage: a Putin apologist who should never be trusted with our nation's security.
After 14 years in power, Rishi Sunak's offer to voters is 'a review'. On the Tories' watch, Night Fever is dead.
Putin was wrong to invade a sovereign nation, and the EU was wrong to expand eastward.
Hang on a second, we provoked this war. It's, you know, of course it's his fault – he's used what we've done as an excuse.
Don't let Labour sleepwalk into No 10. Scrutinise their plans, ask what it means for you and your family.
What he said was completely wrong and only plays into Putin's hands.
This is a man [Mr Putin] who deployed nerve agent on the streets of Britain, who is doing deals with countries like North Korea, and this kind of appeasement is dangerous for Britain's security, the security of our allies that rely on us, and only emboldens Putin further.
I love this country deeply for what it has done for my family. My grandparents emigrated here with very little and two generations later I have the enormous privilege of being our prime minister. I will work my hardest to repay this country for everything that it has done for my family.
