answer text <p>(1) The UK took military action in Iraq in 2003 on the basis of UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR) dating back to Resolution 678, and culminating in UNSCR 1441 which was passed unanimously on 8 November 2002. <br><br>(2) The UK does not, and will not, recognise the illegal annexation of Crimea by Russia.
