The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions she has had with international counterparts on improving the security and physical protection of humanitarian personnel operating in conflict zones in Ukraine.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

The UK condemns Russia's attacks affecting humanitarian personnel, infrastructure and supplies in Ukraine. We continue to hold Russia to account through the UN Security Council, and the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, as well as through our sanctions regime, and support for investigations and accountability mechanisms. We also work with international partners to strengthen compliance with international humanitarian law and practical protection for aid workers.
