answer text <p>Hunger has many causes, but conflict is a major driver and amplifier behind ten of the largest food crises in the past year. In turn, competition for resources such as land, food and water contribute to instability. Our Development White Paper sets out our vision, combining efforts in development, diplomacy and security, to both reduce food insecurity and tackle conflict.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government has consistently condemned Vladimir Kara-Murza's politically motivated conviction and called for his release since his arrest. The Foreign Secretary met Mr Kara-Murza's wife and mother on 1 March to discuss our approach. We continue to raise his case with the Russian authorities at every available opportunity in London and Moscow, and call for his immediate release on humanitarian grounds for urgent medical treatment, including at ambassadorial-level, and in multilateral fora, most recently at the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and UN Human Rights Council. Our sanctions are targeted, based on information from a range of sources and we continue to keep them under review.</p> more like this
