We strongly condemn recent Russian aggression against Ukrainian vessels near the Kerch Strait. This is yet further evidence of Russia's continued violation of Ukrainian sovereignty following the illegal annexation of Crimea and construction of the Kerch Bridge.</p><p>The Foreign Secretary issued a statement on 26 November, and spoke with the Ukrainian Foreign Minister on 29 November to reiterate that the UK stands with Ukraine against Russian aggression. The UK also spoke in support of the independence and sovereignty of Ukraine at emergency sessions in the UN Security Council, NATO, EU and OSCE.</p><p>The UK is also providing over £35 million to support Ukraine in a range of areas including governance reform, anti-corruption and humanitarian aid to help Ukraine continue its transition to become a stable, transparent and prosperous state.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 03/12/2018 17:39:04 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

As the Prime Minister has said, the UK is leaving the European Union not Europe. The draft Withdrawal Agreement and outline Political Declaration provide the basis for what will be the closest relationship between the EU and any third country and signals the ambition of both sides to embark on a new, deep and special partnership after the UK leaves the EU, as well as strengthened relationships with other countries further afield.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 21/11/2018 17:49:53 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>The UK position on this matter is long-standing and well-known to the US Administration. We believe it diminishes the prospect for positive change in Cuba and we consider it to be counter-productive and damaging, including to UK interests. It is right that the UK has again voted in support of the Cuban resolution at this year's UN General Assembly on 1 November.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 12/11/2018 12:17:35 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
