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

uin	125317
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2018 answer text <p>Russian aggression and its attempts to destabilise Ukraine are responsible for the most serious human rights and security issues in Ukraine. Both will improve once Russia abides by international law and withdraws its forces from all of Ukraine, including Crimea.</p><p>In the Donbas over 10,300 have been killed and 25,000 injured since the start of the conflict Russia instigated in 2014, and continues to fuel. It is vital that all sides in the conflict abide by their Minsk Agreement commitments, beginning with the implementation of a sustained ceasefire and the withdrawal of heavy weapons. In Crimea, the UK is particularly concerned about ongoing human rights abuses experienced by ethnic and religious minorities, especially the Crimean Tatars. Expressions of even mild discontent in Crimea or voicing opposition to the illegal annexation of the peninsula can result in being charged with extremism and given lengthy prison sentences.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 01/02/2018 16:43:38 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
