To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs if she will make a statement on the recent deliberate attacks by Russia on civilian infrastructure , including apartment buildings and non-military targets
Urgent matter raised by an MP
Conservative MP Sir John Whittingdale has tabled an urgent question asking the Foreign Secretary to make a statement on Russia's recent deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, including apartment buildings and non-military targets. The question seeks to put pressure on the government to address Russian attacks that violate international humanitarian law and kill civilians.
This affects Britain's diplomatic response to the war in Ukraine and signals Conservative scrutiny of Labour's foreign policy stance toward Russian aggression. The outcome shapes UK positioning on war crimes, support for Ukraine, and Britain's role in holding Russia accountable at international forums.
Urgent questions draw responses from across the House — any MP may participate, so we don't show a predicted interest list.
