The motion

That this House condemns the Russian Federation’s decision to impose sanctions on Members of the UK Parliament, for standing up in support of Ukraine and in defence of democracy across Europe; notes that this action by the Kremlin is part of a wider pattern of intimidation and disinformation aimed at weakening democratic institutions and undermining international support for Ukraine; reaffirms the UK Parliament’s cross-party commitment to holding Vladimir Putin’s regime accountable for its illegal invasion of Ukraine, war crimes, and repeated violations of international law; further reaffirms its resolute commitment to support the defence of Ukraine with military, financial and humanitarian aid; and urges continued unity across all political parties in resisting authoritarian interference and defending the principles of sovereignty, freedom, and democracy on which European peace and security depend.
