Lords statement on the recent deliberate attacks by Russia on civilian infrastructure, including residential apartment buildings and other non-military targets.

Lords statement on the recent deliberate attacks by Russia on civilian infrastructure, including residential apartment buildings and other non-military targets.

My Lords, Britain has stood resolutely against Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, and we continue to support the Government in their opposition to Putin’s war. Britain has a role to play in weakening the Russian war machine through effective sanctions, working in close concert with our US and European partners....

I think even the noble Lord knows when he says “appeared to weaken” that the story that was reported was not exactly accurate. We have new sanctions that

we are introducing, although they will not be introduced perhaps as quickly as some noble Lords would like, and we can discuss...

My Lords, we have seen in the conflicts in the Middle East we have just been discussing in the House, in Sudan and now in Ukraine, that there has been a systematic targeting of civilian infrastructure, which is a clear breach of Article 8 of the Rome statute and Article...

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...

My Lords, will the Minister comment on the attack yesterday on the Chernobyl civil nuclear power facilities by Russian drones? Is it the Government’s intention, with other like-minded countries—such as France, Germany and, I hope, even the United States—to raise this matter to the governing board of the International Atomic...

The noble Lord is absolutely right, and we will of course be raising this in every forum we can. I commend the work that our friends and partners in France have led on the safety of Chernobyl; it is disturbing to see these most recent events.

My Lords, does the Minister agree with me that what has gone on in Palestine weakens the international ability to criticise Russia, and that those people who do not make that case actually make it more likely that we will see more civilian attacks, as we have seen in recent...

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...

My Lords, the recent Russian drone attack on the flats in Galați in Romania represents a major escalation indeed and is incredibly worrying. Is the UK going to lead a specific initiative in the UN Security Council on this, and what other action can the UK take alongside our partners?

That is a good suggestion; I will take that back. We need to use all the mechanisms we have. Our work multilaterally is important, not only at the UN but through the coalition of the willing and the conversations here in London in recent days. I will take back the...

I could not agree more with the noble Baroness; the incursions we have seen into Romania are exactly as she describes. I pay tribute to her and all others involved in the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme. I took part, with the Royal Navy, and it is immensely helpful—it is one...
