Sanctions

Proceeding contribution from Elizabeth Truss (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 February 2022. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Sanctions.

My hon. Friend is correct about Navalny; he ought to be released. We have seen a terrible suppression of democracy, and we have also seen a terrible suppression of information in Russia, but despite that, we are seeing people in Russia come out on the streets, and we are seeing public figures speak out against the regime. That takes incredible bravery, and I congratulate them. I am humbled by the people in Russia who are prepared to risk their lives to stand up for freedom.
