A decision has been made:#UAarmy will receive Challenger 2 tanks.
This was agreed upon by President @ZelenskyyUa & Prime Minister @RishiSunak
With NATO-style tanks, we will move towards victory much faster.
Grateful to His Majesty's Cabinet, especially to my colleague@BWallaceMP

6th. Denial of humanitarian access.
Irpin, Mariupol, Volnovakha and others forcibly witnessed depriving 🇺🇦 children of access to basic things: water, food, warm clothes, medical care.
Breaking the IHL,🇷🇺 are trying to sow the fear among the youngest.

5th. Abduction of children.
Thousands of 🇺🇦children are deported, forcibly transferred and imprisoned from temporary occupied territories. 🇷🇺state policy, incl. on adoption, contains a genocidal intent against Ukrainians and our future.

3rd. Rape and other forms of conflict-related sexual violence.

2nd. Recruitment and use of children.
🇷🇺 tried to use 🇺🇦 children to unknowingly provide information about the location of strategically important objects through a mobile game.
This is not just a dirty trick, it’s a war crime.

1st. Killing and maiming of children.
Since February 24, 2022 🇷🇺 had killed 453 🇺🇦 children and injured 877. However, real numbers are much higher. russia has been committing war crimes and has no plans to stop.

Security formula:
The missile power of the “world's second army” is inversely proportional to the strictness of sanctions compliance multiplied by the strength of Ukrainian air defense.

Six.
That is how many types of serious violations against children during armed conflicts are listed in UN Security Council Resolution 1261 (1999).
russia has committed all of them. We must remember this and punish evil.

Naddnipryanske (Kherson region). New Year’s Eve. A 13-year-old boy was twice targeted by 🇷🇺. First, he was critically injured on his way home. Then russians shelled the intensive care unit where he was being treated. Two war crimes. The life of one child.

In Beryslav (Kherson region) 🇷🇺 retreated and intentionally blew up a power plant. Art. 51(2) of the Additional Protocol I prohibits destruction of critical infrastructure as terror acts. But this does not stop russian invaders.

The damage to the 🇺🇦 ecology caused by russia is estimated at $35.3 billion. Millions of hectares of nature preserves are under threat.Article 55 of the Protocol I prohibits waging war VS the natural environment by way of reprisals, but russia doesn’t care.

russians continue to forcibly recruit Ukrainians from the occupied territories to fight against their own country. I would like to remind you that the 4th Geneva Convention prohibits the occupiers from compelling protected persons to serve in their army.

We have shot down, are shooting down and will shoot down russian drones, missiles, planes & helicopters in our skies.
We will use everything: from old MANPADS to the modern Patriot systems.
We protect our own land.
