Motion · S7M-00101 · 20 May 2026
Condemnation of UK Sanction Relief on Russia
The motion
That the Parliament condemns the UK Government for what it believes to be the easing of sanctions on Russia and Vladimir Putin’s regime; notes that additional sanctions have been in place since the full-scale, illegal invasion of Ukraine in February 2022; considers this decision to be an utter betrayal of the fighting men and women of Ukraine; recognises the sacrifices made, not just by fighters in Ukraine, but also by civilians who are facing aerial bombardment from Russia on a nightly basis, and calls on the UK Government to immediately reverse this decision.
