There is one question to be put as a result of today’s business. The question is, that motion S6M-14655, in the name of Shirley-Anne Somerville, on Scotland stands with Ukraine, be agreed to.
Motion agreed to,
That the Parliament reiterates its unwavering solidarity with the people and government of Ukraine in the face of Russia’s devastating illegal war; pledges that Scotland will continue to be a welcoming nation for those people who have sought refuge in the country from war and persecution, including refugees, people seeking asylum, people relocated from Afghanistan and displaced people from Ukraine; thanks the people of Scotland for opening their hearts and communities to all; recognises the vital role of those organisations and local authorities that have supported displaced Ukrainians to settle into Scotland’s communities; reaffirms that all Ukrainians who have made Scotland their temporary home will be welcome here for as long as they need, and wishes a speedy and peaceful resolution to the war that ensures Ukrainian sovereignty, democracy, independence and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders.
That concludes decision time.
