PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Russia: Ukraine (15 January 2015)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent representations he has made to the Russian government about its annexation of Crimea.

Asked by:
Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

We have made clear that we will not recognise Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea, which remains a part of the sovereign territory of Ukraine. This point is raised as a matter of principle in any high-level level UK/Russia bilateral meetings. I last raised this issue the last time I met the Russian Ambassador in December.
