Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 June 2026

Debate

Russian Attacks on Civilian Infrastructure

Contribution

I do share, as I think the noble Lord knows, his deep concerns around the changing nature of warfare and what seems to be happening in many places, as he said, with the deliberate targeting of civilians and infrastructure. We do not comment about future sanctions, as he knows, but we will take robust action. We have been leaders in calling for accountability and for enabling some of the mechanisms by which that is achieved to be put into place around the world, and we will continue to do that. It is important that the UK maintains its reputation for standing up for the rule of law, and we will be champions for this whenever we need to be and using whatever mechanisms we need.
