Acknowledged
. The Government welcomes the Committee’s recommendation. The UK continues to press the need for all parties to uphold the July 2020 strengthened ceasefire. We will continue to work with our Allies and Partners to call on Russia to uphold the OSCE principles and commitments that it freely signed up to and which it is violating through its ongoing aggression against Ukraine. Ukraine has made clear its commitment to the ceasefire and to peace. We urge the Russian Government to engage constructively in the Normandy format and to fulfil its obligations under the Minsk agreements.
