Russian aggression against Ukraine began with Crimea 8 years ago. We now face a full-scale war waged by ???? on land, sea and air. ????’s brave armed forces defend not just our own country, but all of freedom-loving, democratic Europe. 

8 years on from Russia's Invasion and occupation of Crimea, Russia has once again invaded Ukraine premeditated, unprovoked, and unjustified.
Its attack is a shame and violation of international law which has kept the world safe from global conflict for decades.

Crimea is a warning. The human cost of occupation has been huge with forced conscription, arbitrary arrests, and rampant persecution of minorities including the Crimean Tartar people.

Russia's continued attempts to redraw the borders of Europe by force cannot be tolerated!
