Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 29 June 2022 to Question 24564, on Armed Conflict: Ukraine, whether she has made an assessment of the Ukrainian authorities’ capacity to (a) collect antemortem records of missing or at risk UK citizens in Ukraine and (b) identify deceased UK citizens in Ukraine during the Russian war on that country.

We continue to liaise with Ukrainian authorities to support effective identification and collection of evidence of atrocity crimes. It remains for the Ukrainian authorities to maintain any necessary records of those missing or at risk in Ukraine and to identify British nationals that pass away on Ukrainian territory.
