Vladimir Putin
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to whether they would grant permission for Vladimir Putin to enter the UK.
- Answer
-
The UK has made clear, for the avoidance of any doubt, that President Putin would not be welcome in the UK. FCDO officials re-emphasised this to senior officials at the Russian Embassy in the UK at a face-to-face meeting in early April. The UK sanctioned President Putin and applied an asset freeze shortly after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
