PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(5 February 2025)

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of recent attempts by Russia to destabilise democracies in the Eastern Caucasian region; and what steps he is taking to support that region to counter those attempts.

Asked by:
Wendy Morton (Conservative)

Countering Russia's efforts to destabilise democracies in the South Caucasus, such as Armenia and Georgia, is a priority for the UK. We have previously supported Georgia in combatting Russian hybrid aggression by helping increase Georgia's cyber resilience. We took all opportunities to condemn Russia's illegal presence in Georgian territories including through the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) resolutions. We have supported Armenia's efforts to remove itself from Russia's orbit, including through support for Armenia's reform agenda and efforts to building institutional resilience and to strengthen cyber and border management.
