	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2015 answer text <p>As the Strategic Defence and Security Review makes clear, Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and destabilising activities in Ukraine directly challenge European security and the rules-based international order. We have long been clear that Russia’s actions are unacceptable. Nevertheless we need to work with Russia on key areas of shared interest: in particular to end fighting in Syria, and to focus on the shared aim of destroying the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. That was the basis on which the Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr Cameron), met President Putin at the G20 Summit in Antalya on 16 November.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 30/11/2015 15:48:00 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
