HM Government
Acknowledged
The Government agree with the Committee’s recommendation. The Political, Free Trade and Strategic Partnership Agreement signed with Ukraine on 8 October 2020 reaffirms the UK’s commitment to the security assurances enshrined in the Budapest Memorandum of 5 December 1994. We will continue to work closely with the US to insist that Russia stands by the agreement that it freely signed up to and which it is violating through its ongoing aggression against Ukraine.
