Jeremy Corbyn refuses to endorse tougher sanctions on Russia Posted: 21 Aug 2018 10:32 AM PDT Jeremy Corbyn has refused to endorse calls for the UK to follow the United States and impose tougher sanctions on Russia, describing it as a "huge player on the world stage". Speaking in New Lanark, Scotland, the Labour leader called for "serious dialogue" with Moscow. It came after Jeremy Hunt, the Foreign Secretary, used his first speech in the US to call for the European Union to stand "shoulder to shoulder" with Washington over tougher sanctions on Russia. Mr Corbyn said: "I think what we need is a serious dialogue with Russia, put the megaphones down, pick up the phone and make the arrangements to have serious meetings with Russia. "Yes, there are huge human rights issues that have to be raised with Russia and Russia has to be challenged on them, but at the end of the day there has to be a relationship with Russia. We cannot just have a building up of tensions on both sides of the border." Asked if tougher sanctions should be put in place, Mr Corbyn said: "You have to realise you've got to live with Russia, you've got to negotiate with Russia, you have to be critical of Russia where they are wrong, but you also have to have that relationship. "After all, Russia is part of the Europe-wide economy, a major energy supplier and obviously a huge player on the world stage." Jeremy Corbyn Credit: Matt Dunham/AP The comments went against calls by Mr Hunt for the EU to take more decisive action against "aggressive and malign behaviour" by the Kremlin. The Foreign Secretary praised the Trump administration's support of the UK following the Salisbury poisoning, as well as its latest round of sanctions, which come into force on Wednesday. Mr Hunt said: "Of course we must engage with Moscow, but we must also be blunt: Russia's foreign policy under President Putin has made the world a more dangerous place. "Today the UK asks its allies to go further by calling on the European Union to ensure its sanctions against Russia are comprehensive, and that we truly stand shoulder to shoulder with the US. Jeremy Hunt Credit:  SAUL LOEB/AFP "That means calling out and responding to transgressions with one voice wherever and whenever they occur, from the streets of Salisbury to the heart of Crimea." He later clarifies that his call for the EU to support the US "doesn't mean we will react in the same way as the US". Mr Hunt praised Donald Trump's administration and added: "There is no closer military alliance anywhere in the world than the UK and US."
