The UK has been clear that any solution to the conflict in the Donbas must be political
not military and that the Minsk II Agreement provides a framework to resolve the conflict.
Both sides need to be meeting their commitments under the Minsk agreements, but Russia
remains fundamentally responsible for creating this conflict and continuing to maintain
it through its political and material support for separatist forces. With respect
to the recent law passed in Ukraine on Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories
it is important to remember that Russia's territorial aggression in the Donbas and
Crimea, and its broader efforts to undermine and destabilise Ukraine, represent a
fundamental challenge to the rules-based international order and a threat to regional
security. It is for the Ukrainian government to determine how it organises its response
to this aggression.
