Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions she has had with her Indian counterpart on India's neutrality on the UN Security Council Resolution condemning Russia's actions in Ukraine.

The Foreign Secretary discussed the Russian invasion of Ukraine with Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar on 24 February. During that conversation she reiterated the UK's steadfast commitment to Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty and the need for the international community to confront Russian aggression. The vote on 25 February in the UN Security Council sent an important message to Russia that its actions have isolated it internationally. We welcome that all other member states demonstrated support for the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity which Russia have so flagrantly violated by not voting alongside Russia.
