Exclusive Interview With UK Pro-Brexit MP John Whittingdale

2016 has been a year of political paradoxes in Europe. 52% of UK voters in the so-called Brexit referendum decided it was time to cut membership with the European Union. Meanwhile Ukrainians continued on the difficult path towards implementing European values and systems. Strengthening democracy, rule-of-law and reforms are the main ambitions many fought for during the Euromaidan uprising. Following the UK’s June 23 vote, analysts have been pouring over statistics and statements, trying to predict any future fallout on Ukraine and the broader European bloc. John Whittingdale, the UK’s former culture secretary and staunch Brexiter is one of them. He told Hromadske the UK government will remain a strong voice globally and that the UK’s future support for Ukraine will not waver. “The fact that our new foreign secretary (Boris Johnson), after the referendum, chose Ukraine as one of the very first countries to visit; and he and other members of the British government have also spoken out very strongly in condemning Russian activity, both against Britain as well as in Ukraine, shows that we remain a very strong supporter of Ukraine. We tend to continue to punch our weight and more in the international arena,” Mr. Whittingdale says. Hromadske’s Nataliya Gumenyuk interviewed British MP and Conservative Party member John Whittingdale on December 9 in Kyiv, Ukraine. This video was originally published on December 11th, 2016.
