Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the benefits of maintaining full diplomatic relations with Russia following the invasion of Ukraine by that country.

There can be no normalisation in our relationship with Russia while it threatens the UK and our allies. We will not accept the campaign that Russia is waging to subvert its democratic neighbours. We do however need to maintain a robust diplomatic framework that allows us to manage disagreements, defend our values and co-operate where our interests align.
