Following the Prime Minister’s statement to the House of Commons on the G7 meeting in Brussels, Jonathan Djanogly asks the PM about further sanctions against Russia. Mr Jonathan Djanogly (Huntingdon) (Con): Media reports indicate that Russia is being given one month to disengage from eastern Ukraine before facing further sanctions. Does my right hon. Friend agree with that, and, more particularly, what steps does he want to see taken within that month? The Prime Minister: The way I would put it is that the clear view of the G7 was that the status quo of the flow of arms and people across the border and the support being given to separatist groups is unacceptable and those things need to change. We also need a responsible response from Russia to the free trade agreement between Ukraine and the EU. Both of those things need to happen for further sanction actions to be comprehensively avoided. | Hansard
