24 Feb - Nickie Aiken MP's statement on Russia's invasion of Ukraine

Member of Parliament for the Cities of London, Nickie Aiken, shared her statement on Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Nickie said, "Russia has invaded the liberal democracy that is Ukraine and has brought war to the continent of Europe for the first time in decades. And as the Prime Minister has said today, we stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Ukraine and will not accept such aggression from the Russian State. "I have spent many hours this week speaking to Ministers about going further and faster on economic sanctions on President Putin and those around him including those involved in the Administration in Russia. And I have also been speaking to others, like the Corporation of London, about what we can do to speed up the economic sanctions. "So many people have raised the issue of Russian dirty money in the capital and particularly within my constituency. And I want to assure all of you that I will not stop working with the authorities and with Government to ensure that we rid our capital of such dirty money and ensure that we send a very clear message to President Putin and other dictators around the world that they are not welcome and nor is their money or their business opportunities welcome in the capital of our great nation and not in our country at all."
