answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2017 answer text <p>​</p><p><del class="ministerial">The Ukrainian authorities estimate that there are up to 3500 Russian nationals fighting in eastern Ukraine. We are also aware of reports of a relatively small number of other nationals present in eastern Ukraine. The presence of Russian fighters in Ukraine remains a key obstacle to progress in implementing the Minsk peace agreement, which requires the withdrawal of all foreign armed formations, military equipment and mercenaries from the territory of Ukraine.</del><ins class="ministerial">Given that these territories are not under Government control, there are clear logistical limitations to service provision by the Ukrainian Government to civilians living there. Nonetheless, the Ukrainian Government continues to provide water, heating and energy supplies to non-Government held areas. The UK provides close support to the Ministry for Temporarily Occupied Territories and Internally Displaced Persons and we welcome the Ukrainian Government’s efforts to pursue further ways to provide support to those in non-Government controlled areas, including by facilitating crossings and the transport of goods across the Line of Contact. However, the best way to secure the provision of services to civilians across the Donbas would be a full and comprehensive ceasefire; ongoing fighting poses a grave threat to vital utilities as well as civilian lives, as seen recently in Avdiivka.</ins></p> answering member constituency Uxbridge and South Ruislip answering member printed Boris Johnson question first answered 24/02/2017 09:53:29 question first ministerially corrected 27/02/2017 10:59:41 answering member 1423 label Biography information for Boris Johnson previous answer version 36743 answering member constituency Uxbridge and South Ruislip answering member printed Boris Johnson answering member 1423 label Biography information for Boris Johnson
