answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2015 answer text <p>The Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr Cameron) updated the House on the situation in Ukraine on 23 February. Since the ceasefire agreed in Minsk on 12 February, Russia’s illegal actions in eastern Ukraine have reached a new level, with the separatists’ breach of the ceasefire to take control of the town of Debaltseve made possible only with the supply of Russian fighters and equipment on a very large scale. The Prime Minister underlined that the ceasefire must be respected in full by both sides; heavy weapons need to be drawn back; and all parties must fully implement the agreement they committed to at Minsk. If further destabilisation by Russia occurs then sanctions will be extended and toughened.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 02/03/2015 14:58:26 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
