Conclusion
The International community has reacted quickly and united behind a clear message to Russia that the world is watching and there will be consequences for illegal military action. Lessons have been learnt from the Georgia crisis in 2008 and the Ukraine crisis in 2014, primarily that the international response must be decisive and unanimous in the face of Russian aggression.

Government Response
Accepted
HM Government
Accepted
The Government agrees with the Committee. A pattern of Russian aggression for over a decade undermines Russia’s claim that it is a responsible international partner upholding the Rules Based system. We will continue to work with our Allies and partners to learn from our collective experiences and continue to deter and maintain a robust international response to Russia’s malign activity.
