We're here talking to our northern European allies in a military alliance and you're absolutely right

the focus here is very much on Russian aggression in Ukraine and we have to accept that there's a

war on two fronts there's the Iranian conflict and the continuing Ukrainian conflict. Today I'll

be talking to allies about what more we can do of course there'll be discussions about defence spend

also defence capability and today I'll be making clear to them that I'm giving permission

for the UK to intercept shadow fleet Russian shadow fleet ships these are ships that are

unlawfully breaching sanctions usually with oil and we'll be working with others

on that project. On defence obviously I've already committed to increasing defence spend

we have commitments to go further and we will keep those commitments.
