Russia: Armed Conflict

(asked on 16th December 2021) - View Source

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the remarks by Baroness Goldie on 29 November (HL Deb, col 1128), what are their reasons for believing that an accidental war with Russia "would obviously be a very negative and unwelcome outcome".

It is difficult to envisage any scenario in which war, whether accidental, thermonuclear or otherwise, and irrespective of which other parties may be involved, would be a welcome outcome. Her Majesty's Government is committed to resolving issues peacefully and diplomatically wherever possible.
