Russian aggression continues to destabilise the political and security situation in eastern Ukraine. On 15 October, the Foreign Secretary reaffirmed to Foreign Minister Klimkin our commitment to support Ukraine, including through Operation Orbital. They also discussed militarisation in the Sea of Azov, and the detention of Ukrainian political prisoners held illegally by Russia.
