Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office written question – answered on 23rd November 2022.
Julian Sturdy
Conservative, York Outer
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if the Government will classify Russia as a terrorist state.
Leo Docherty
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
The UK does not have a power to proscribe a country as a "State Sponsor" of Terrorism. The UK and our allies condemn the Russian government's unprovoked and premeditated invasion of Ukraine. We have considerable powers to sanction the Russian Government, which we have used with our allies for significant effect. We have implemented the strongest set of economic sanctions ever to debilitate Russia's economy and degrade funding for Putin's war.
