Proceeding contribution from Liam Fox (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the World.


Defence in the World

My right hon. Friend is a respected and long-serving Member, who has also served in government. From his experience, why does he think that western Governments are making so little comment about the continuing Russian presence in South Ossetia and Abkhazia? Are we simply afraid of upsetting Russia, or is the subject of little importance or interest to western nations?
