Russian Sanctions Motion

This House Recognizes That:

• The United Kingdom currently participates in economic sanctions on the Russian Federation in coordination with the European Union.

• That these sanctions have been ineffective in deterring Russian aggression.

• That these sanctions have failed to harm the targeted oligarchs of the Russian Federation.

• That these sanctions have negatively harmed the British Economy.

• That these sanctions have harmed the ordinary Russian people, who were not targeted.

• That these sanctions have lead to more resentment of the West by the Russian people, and negatively impacted relations.

• It is better to negotiate with Russia to reach an agreement than it is to maintain sanctions.

This House urges:

• That the government commits itself to not resume sanctions on the Russian Federation after Brexit and instead work with the Russian Federation.
