He said: "Our thoughts and our prayers are with all those caught up in the conflict in Ukraine.
"No-one who has seen the dreadful impact of the Russian bombardment on the towns and cities of Ukraine and its people can fail to have been moved by this, or by the incredible bravery and resilience of the Ukrainian people.
