<p>The UK welcomes Ukraine's ongoing commitment to a diplomatic path to de-escalate,
and we will continue to support them in achieving an outcome that delivers for Ukraine
and its people. President Putin seems determined to pursue his path of violence and
aggression, as evidenced by his increased military action in the Donbas and continued
barbaric assault of Mariupol. We are therefore continuing to increase our economic
pressure on him through sanctions, as well as providing the military assistance Ukraine
needs to defend itself.</p>
