answer text <p>Russia's use of indiscriminate force against innocent civilians, in its illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, is clear for all to see. It must be investigated and those responsible must be held to account. The UK joined 44 partners on 3 March to launch an OSCE mission to investigate violations of human rights and international humanitarian law by Russia in Ukraine. The UK also led efforts to bring together 37 partners on 2 March to expedite an ICC investigation into Russian war crimes in Ukraine. We are willing to provide the necessary technical assistance to support successful convictions.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government is working closely with the international community, with Ukraine directly, and across international organisations, to protect the people of Ukraine. The UK has now committed nearly £400 million to support Ukraine during this crisis, including £220 million of life-saving humanitarian assistance. On 7 March, the Prime Minister announced proposals for a new 'International Ukraine Support Group' to coordinate and sustain international support for Ukraine. This Group will capitalise on the unity shown at the UN General Assembly on 2 March in order to maximise sustained political, humanitarian, economic, civil society and civil resilience support. We will continue to work tirelessly with partners to protect Ukrainian civilians and to hold Russia accountable for their actions.</p> more like this
