Conclusion
The Government has identified Russia as the primary threat to the UK’s national security and continues to do good work to deter further Russian aggression. The Committee commends the Government for its continued military and financial assistance for Ukraine and its planned investment in sharpening the UK’s hard power, including through maintenance of the independent nuclear deterrent. In conjunction with NATO allies, the UK also continues to demonstrate a united front against Russian aggression by tightening the pressure on Moscow through use of sanctions and acting against the shadow fleet.
