answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text <p>Sanctions imposed by the EU in respect of Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea are designed to deter further escalation of the crisis by imposing a cost to Russia for its negative actions, in the hope of reaching a sustainable solution. Economic sanctions on Russia are having an impact. Capital has flown out of Russia, banks are short of finance, and the Russian stock market and Rouble have fallen significantly. Russia’s behaviour has seen it isolated by the international community, including at the UN and by the G8.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 17/11/2014 15:27:28 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2014 answer text <p>Sanctions imposed on Russia by the EU in respect of Russia’s actions in Ukraine are designed to impose a cost on Russia, deter further escalation of this crisis, and support the wider diplomatic effort to reach a sustainable solution. EU sanctions already announced have exacerbated negative trends in Russia’s economy: capital flight in the first half of 2014 was greater than for the whole of 2013; and growth predictions have been revised downwards. Russian access to western financial markets is being severely constrained as lenders consider the risks of Russian exposure in the current climate. The strengthening of sanctions is signaling clearly to the Russian leadership that its policy of trying to destabilise Ukraine will continue to have serious consequences.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 21/10/2014 13:33:36 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

There will be a cost to the EU's economy, but there is a greater cost involved in not standing up to Russia's aggression. The Government has been clear that any pain as a result of economic sanctions should be shared equally across the EU.</p><p> </p><p>Due to the recent nature of the implementation of the sanctions Treasury officials are still in the process of analysing the initial data; it is a work in progress and not yet ready for public use.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 21/10/2014 09:10:18 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/08/2014 answer text <p>The US briefed North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) Allies on 29 July on its conclusion that Russia is in violation of its obligations under the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. The UK and other NATO Allies are considering the detail of this briefing carefully. Although this is a bilateral Treaty to which the UK is not a party, the Government is clearly concerned at reports that Russia has breached its obligations under the Treaty, and is another example of Russia not adhering to international obligations and norms. The Government fully supports the statement made by the NATO Secretary General urging Russia to work constructively to return to full compliance in a verifiable manner.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 18/08/2014 09:59:47 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
