Monmouthshire MP David Davies exchange on Russian donations

Monmouthshire MP David Davies was videoed outside Westminster with a member of the public asking about donating Russian money to charities helping Ukraine.

Mr Davies – a member of the Conservative party – tells the man - Steve Bray - “We’ve been supporting the Ukrainian government and the Ukrainian Army.” Before calling him a disgrace.

Mr Davies is also seen in the video telling the man he is a ‘nutter’ and to ‘get a job.’

The exchange happened after the man asked about when the ‘corrupt’ Conservative party were going to ‘give back’ or donate ‘the Russian money’.

Bravo @DavidTCDavies!

Mercantile & Maritime gave the Tory party £500,000 during the 2019 election through their UK subsidiary. The company are investors in Rosneft – which is run by Igor Sechin, a key ally of Russian president Vladmir Putin.

Sanctions have been placed on many Russian countries and oligarchs – including Rosneft – after Putin launched an invasion on Ukraine on February 20.

The video was shared by Welsh Conservative party leader and MS Andrew RT Davies on Twitter who also said that the UK has led the world in providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine and providing weapons that are ‘stalling Russian armoured columns.’
