Asked by: Lord Richards of Herstmonceux (Crossbench - Life peer)
Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they support the recovery of all of Ukraine’s pre-2014 territory including Crimea; and, if not, what they are seeking to achieve through its assistance to Ukraine.
Answered by Baroness Chapman of Darlington - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
We will continue supporting Ukraine for as long as it takes to defend itself and secure a just and lasting peace. The clearest path to peace is for Russia to withdraw its troops from Ukraine tomorrow. It is for Ukraine to determine its position on its long-term future. A strong, sovereign, and secure Ukraine that is able to defend against and deter future aggression is in the UK's interest.
