<p>The UK consistently calls for Russia to comply fully with International Humanitarian
Law, and the need to respect and protect medical personnel in all circumstances. Humanitarian
organisations must be given full, safe and unhindered access to populations in need
of assistance. No one should be punished for or prevented from providing essential
medical treatment. In our public communications and statements we draw attention to
Russia's actions in Ukraine, including arbitrary detentions of civilians. In March,
the UK led a joint statement on behalf of 40 countries, which called on Russia to
release everyone detained in contravention of international law.</p>
