Laying flowers at the MH17 memorial with @WBHoekstra in memory of the 298 people who lost their lives. The flight was shot down over Ukraine in 2014. The victims and their families deserve justice. Russia must take responsibility for this heinous act.
403
At @IntlCrimCourt in The Hague.
We are dispatching a team of war crime experts to work with the Ukrainians to collect evidence of Russian atrocities including rape and sexual violence.

Spoke to @MarosSefcovic. I was clear that the NI Protocol is not working. The UK Government’s top priority will always be to protect the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement.
405
My vision is a world where free nations are assertive and in the ascendant.
Where freedom and democracy are strengthened through a network of economic and security partnerships.
Where aggressors are contained and forced to take a better path.

In the face of rising aggression we have the power to act, and we need to act now.
We must be assertive. Aggressors are looking at what has happened in Ukraine. We need to make sure that they get the right message.

We must learn the lessons from Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. This has to be a catalyst for change to protect the free world.
We need a new approach based on military strength, economic security and deeper alliances.

On Yom HaShoah, we pause to remember the 6 million Jews who perished in the Holocaust. Thanks to the work of those across the world, particularly survivors, their memory and legacy will endure for future generations.
409
My speech at Mansion House with @citylordmayor tonight will set out the lessons we must learn from Ukraine. We need:
🛡 Stronger defence and deterrence
⚖️ Greater economic security and reduced dependency on aggressors
🤝 A deeper network of alliances

Russia has brought barbarity and devastation to Ukraine. I told @HouseofCommons that the UK must do everything we can to ensure Putin loses.
411
From military and humanitarian support to economic sanctions, the UK is doing all we can to support Ukraine and ensure Putin fails.
We are isolating Putin on the world stage and ensuring his regime is held accountable for its crimes.
412
Appalled by Russia’s intentional targeting of innocent civilians in Ukraine.
Today @BorisJohnson and I have announced the UK is funding frontline medical expertise and donating more ambulances to bring life-saving care to the people of Ukraine.

Removing all tariffs on Ukrainian goods will provide valuable economic support to Ukraine when they need it most.
UK export bans to Russia will stop Putin using UK tech to advance his war machine.

An honour to lay a wreath on #AnzacDay, commemorating the courage and self-sacrifice of Australian and New Zealander soldiers who fought side by side with British servicemen and women.
Lest we forget.

NEW: Delighted that Luke Symons, who was unlawfully detained, without charge or trial since 2017 in Yemen by the Houthis, has been released and will shortly be reunited with his family. I pay tribute to our Omani and Saudi partners and our team for securing his release.
416
We are now entering the 3rd month of Putin’s illegal war on Ukraine.
Russia has perpetrated appalling atrocities including attacks on innocent civilians and children in Odessa and the siege of Mariupol.
We will not rest until Putin fails and Ukraine prevails. 🇬🇧 🇺🇦
417
Orthodox Easter Sunday is a time for peace and renewed hope for the coming year. As Orthodox Christians celebrate around the world, my thoughts are with those affected by the conflict in Ukraine. 🇺🇦
419
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has caused price rises and jeopardised livelihoods around the world. The UK and our partners have responded with unprecedented support for countries facing economic hardship because of Russia's war.

Our intelligence reveals Russia is intentionally targeting civilian infrastructure in Mariupol. Putin’s regime is committing war crimes on a horrific scale and the depravity is plain to see.
Those responsible will be held to account.
