The UK Government is in regular contact with the Ukrainian Government at ministerial, military and diplomatic levels. The UK, at all times, supports and promotes the letter and the spirit of the Geneva Conventions, and we would expect any participant in any conflict to adhere to it completely, including Russia and Ukraine
