Ryu, who do you think is going to win on July 4?

Is this a joke question?

Just kidding, I know that you aren't British so you probably haven't seen what is happening here.

Barring some fucking divine intervention by God (or maybe the devil in this case) to change the results, Labour are on track to demolish the Tories in the elections and due to how UK works, Reform UK (the Pro-Russian fuckwits) will barely get any seats. Tories after 14 years of destroying the country are going to be wiped out and some projections less than 100 seats (which would be absolutely horrific for them, almost too brutal to be true).

You need not worry about the UK, both the Tories and Labour are firmly pro-Ukraine (despite the Tories taking Russian money for years), The Lib-Dems are also pro-Ukraine (and there's a small chance they may end up as the opposition, Lol). They'll be next to no change in UK's support for Ukraine, nor to our foreign policy (aside from maybe fixing European relationships a little more), all the changes that will occur as a result of the UK election will be domestically.

So just as when Russia first invaded Ukraine, Britain must continue to support the Ukrainian people as they face down aggression and fight back.

We welcome the decision of the UK Government to supply Ukraine with Challenger 2 tanks, and train F16 fighter pilots, which Liberal Democrats had called for. We call on the Government to continue to help arm Ukraine, including by providing longer-range precision weapons.

It is vital that we continue to encourage our allies to do all they can to support Ukraine. To this end, the UK should establish formal cooperation mechanisms on foreign and security issues with the EU and NATO.

We must also seek to isolate Russia like the rogue state it is. After over a year of Liberal Democrat pressure, the Government has finally acted to proscribe the Wagner Group, making anyone engaging with them, anywhere in the world, in violation of UK law. The Government must now work to make the case with our allies that they should follow suit. 

The UK Government must not rest on its laurels while Putin's cronies continue to evade accountability.  It’s time for an economic retaliation package - starting by closing down the lucrative loopholes that funnel Putin’s illegal wealth to his dwindling front line.

The UK Government is still yet to publish the review of golden visas - which was commissioned over four years ago. Putin’s cronies have treated this country as their playground for too long - it’s beyond time to kick them out. 

The Liberal Democrats are steadfast in our commitment to supporting Ukraine, isolating Russia, and upholding the values of justice and accountability. We stand with President Zelensky and the Ukrainian people.

Ukraine can win. Ukraine must win.

Standing Strong with Ukraine - Liberal Democrats

With Labour, the UK’s military, financial, diplomatic and political support for Ukraine will remain steadfast. Labour will support efforts to hold Putin’s Russia to account for its illegal war, backing calls for a Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression. We will work with our allies to enable the seizure and repurposing of frozen Russian state assets to support Ukraine. And we will play a leading role in providing Ukraine with a clear path to NATO membership.

Now Putin is attempting to break European security with his full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Labour will meet this challenge by strengthening our armed forces and protecting our national security.

Our commitment to the UK’s nuclear deterrent is absolute. It is a vital safeguard for the UK and our NATO allies. As the party that founded NATO, we maintain our unshakeable commitment to the alliance, and we will apply a NATO test to major defence programmes to ensure we meet our obligations in full.
