Speaking to Sky News in the morning, Mr. Raab He said: “The Russian statement is illegal and what we are doing is legal. “International law is very clear about that.”
“We have the right, all states have the right, to provide military support to any state that exercises its right of legal defense against an aggressive invasion. “And frankly, if Russia starts threatening other countries, then it only adds further to the status quo it has and it will only increase the solidarity and consensus of the international community that it should be stopped,” he added.
Criticism against Moscow The shadowy Justice Minister Steve Reed also spoke on behalf of the main opposition Labor Party, saying it was not the first time the Russian leadership had attempted to intimidate.
