Robert Courts speaks on the war in Ukraine<\/h3>\n

Vladimir Putin has been told he is \u201cin no position to lecture Israel\u201d about the legality of its military operation in Gaza given his \u201cbrutal, unprovoked\u201d invasion of neighbour Ukraine.<\/p>\n

And Robert Courts, the recently appointed chairman of Parliament\u2019s Defence Committee, also emphasised the importance of Western unity when it came to Russian aggression – as well as admitting his concern that tensions in the Middle East could result in \u201cfatigue\u201d when it came to the war raging in Europe.<\/p>\n

Putin\u2019s Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov took aim at Israel in an interview with Belarusian state media at the weekend during which he was asked about the aftermath of the Hamas terror attack last month, in which at least 1,400 people were killed.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWhile we condemn terrorism, we categorically disagree that you can respond to terrorism by violating the norms of international humanitarian law, including indiscriminately using force against targets where civilians are known to be present, including hostages that have been taken.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Courts, the Tory MP for Witney, wasted little time pointing out the contradiction between such sentiments and Russia\u2019s behaviour since Putin launched his so-called \u201cspecial military operation\u201d on February 24, 2002.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cRussia is in no position to lecture anybody on the norms of international law or international behaviour, given the utterly brutal unprovoked war that they have unleashed upon Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of the horrors that we have seen in the Second World War are present again in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is, a war waged with utter brutality, utter barbarity by Russian forces<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd neither they nor Putin is in any position to lecture anyone else about standards in warfare.\u201d<\/p>\n
