answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>​Russia's actions are not in conformity with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the 2003 Russia-Ukraine bilateral agreement that provides free passage in the Sea of Azov and Kerch Strait, including for military ships. The UK has publically condemned Russia's aggressive actions and continues to call on Russia to immediately release the 24 detained service men and three vessels. The UK's full diplomatic network is engaged on an international response including through the UN Security Council, EU, NATO and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe. We are working closely with Ukraine in all these international fora, and are in very close contact in Kyiv.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 10/12/2018 15:45:33 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
