PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Ukraine: Human Rights (29 October 2019)

We are concerned by reports of alleged human rights violations in Ukraine, including in illegally annexed Crimea and areas of eastern Ukraine held by Russian-backed separatists. During, my recent visit to Ukraine, I discussed with Crimean activists the human rights abuses carried out by the de-facto Russian authorities.

The British Government provides financial support to the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, which works to report and reduce human rights violations and abuses in Ukraine. We also support the work of Global Rights Compliance in Ukraine, which builds the capacity of human rights defenders to document human rights violations and pursue justice for victims of these abuses in Crimea.
