Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to apply sanctions in relation to removal of children from Ukraine by Russia.

Russia's forcible deportation of Ukrainian children is a despicable and systematic attempt to erase Ukrainian identity, and with it, Ukraine's future. We are playing our full part in international efforts to reunite these children with their families. In November 2024, we announced a third round of sanctions targeting those involved in forcibly deporting and indoctrinating Ukrainian children. We do not comment on any potential future designations as to do so could lessen their impact.
