We have had a Tory government since prior to the Crimea invasion, let alone the current Ukraine war. Probably Labour will support Ukraine as much as the US does though. Recently they have taken their foreign policy lead almost entirely from Biden's policy. Unclear how that might interact with a Trump presidency.

Traditionally the Tories will have always supported as more of their membership and money is tied up in the UK arms industry. Although I am not sure how much of it will be affected by some of them having 'Russian friends' (such as Johnson's buddy being given a peerage) and Russian-originating money helping direct some policies, such as Brexit.
In the case of a Biden win in November, I would expect Labour to follow the US's lead on continued support. If Trump wins, and Ukraine is left out to dry, it's an open question how many inroads Starmer will make towards the EU trying to bang heads and herd cats into getting member states to start upping their support and organise a common European policy of defence in place of NATO.

Lots of stupid shenanigans in Parliament over the last week. Labour don't come out well and Hoyle should resign.
