<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>
