Conclusion
Russia prefers to keep the West in the dark about its military activities and the strategic goals, which underpin them. However, it is unlikely that Russia would want to provoke further Western economic sanctions or military assistance to Ukraine.

The Government notes the Committee’s view. The UK worked closely with the EU, US, Australia and Canada to impose costs on those facilitating Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol through sanctions. We continue to work closely with international partners to ensure that sanctions and military assistance to Ukraine remain in place as long as Russia’s illegitimate control of the peninsula continues.
