Ukraine: Depleted Uranium

Lord Swire Excerpts

Thursday 30th March 2023 Lords Chamber

[Lord Harlech (Con)]

The noble and gallant Lord makes a very important point. We condemn the Lukashenko Government’s provision of support to Putin’s unprovoked and illegal war in Ukraine. We are very concerned about the recent passage of constitutional amendments in Belarus which enable it to renounce its nuclear-free status, and its recent decision to host Russian nuclear weapons on its territory.

[Lord Swire (Con)]

When Putin is eventually dragged in front of the ICC, can we also add to the charge sheet the illegal munitions that he used against the people of Syria?

[Lord Harlech (Con)]

My noble friend is absolutely right and that should definitely be considered.
