Sanctions

Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 February 2022. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Sanctions.

I am very grateful. One of the problems with the Government’s argument is that President Putin has already said the whole of the Donbas is now effectively to be either independent or part of Russia. Two thirds of that territory is currently held by Ukrainians and a third by separatists. That is an incursion already. It feels as if what we have announced today by way of sanctions is remarkably puny, yet it feels also as if we are not going to do anything more if the Russians just stick with this. Does the Minister not understand the anxiety there is, I think across the House?
