Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 June 2026

Debate

Russian Attacks on Civilian Infrastructure

Contribution

I am not sure about that. It is possible and important, and it is our responsibility to call out what Russia is doing in Ukraine: abducting children, targeting infrastructure and carrying out relentless drone attacks on cities. This must be condemned, whatever someone’s views may be on Israel, Palestine and Lebanon. We have discussed this and it is very clear what the Government’s position is on that; it is consistent with the position we take on international humanitarian law in Ukraine and everywhere else. I do not think there is anything that could excuse what is happening in Ukraine and the behaviour of the Russians towards the people of Ukraine. The UK Government will continue to be steadfast in that view.
