FOREIGN AFFAIRS – UKRAINE & NATO DETERRENCE - 24 April 2025

Sir Julian Lewis: If the Government could persuade the Nobel peace prize committee to give the award to Donald Trump on condition that he stops siding with the aggressor against the victim, does the Minister think that American policy might revert to one of NATO deterrence, which prevented world war three for half a century after the end of world war two?

[The Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (Stephen Doughty): The right hon. Gentleman, who I know well, will know that that is a matter for the Nobel committee, and not for me. I do not recognise his characterisation. We are working closely with the United States, Ukraine and all of our European partners to secure a just and lasting peace for Ukraine. We are very clear about who is on the side of peace – us – and who is on the side of war: Vladimir Putin.]
