I HAVE just been in Ukraine. 

Many people there said to me that they long for ‘European values’ for their country.

By this they mean the integrity they see in the way much of Europe conducts its elections, its legal structures, its commerce and governance. Many are working courageously for the reforms which will enable these values to grow in Ukraine.

They fear the break-up of the European Union, because a weakened Europe will give Russia more scope to force its will on Ukraine. And Russia has no wish to see European values grow.

This is one reason I am campaigning for Remain.
