Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of President Putin's role in Russian military decisions to attack (1) civilian targets, and (2) nuclear facilities, in Ukraine.

As the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, President Putin provides direction and leadership of the Russian Armed Forces and is accountable for their actions.

The targeting of civilians and any civilian objects is not only abhorrent, but also a blatant violation of international law, and should not continue under any circumstances. These allegations only strengthen the need for an International Criminal Court investigation into Russian war crimes and for the world to stand together in defence of International Humanitarian Law.
