In his most recent tweet on the war, which started when Russia invaded Ukraine in February, Mr Seely hightlighted an offer by the UK to repair damaged Ukrainian military equipment, as Ukraine’s own repair facilities have been destroyed.
Meanwhile, the Isle of Wight aid effort continues to help refugees - mainly women and children - who has poured out of Ukraine.
On the Island, it is being led by MAD-Aid, which is based in East Cowes and runs the Phoenix Centre in Riscani, Moldova, currently housing people fleeing the war.
