Putin's war on Ukraine is founded on lies. Today I have announced new sanctions targeting Russian state media and the Kremlin mouthpieces who spew Putin’s propaganda.
This includes Mikhail Mizintsev, responsible for the appalling shelling of Mariupol 👇 gov.uk/government/new…

Great honour to meet Sultan of Oman His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik.

China continues to use the National Security Law to grossly undermine Hong Kong’s fundamental rights and freedoms.
I have concluded that it is no longer tenable for British judges to sit on the Hong Kong’s leading court. @UKSupremeCourt 👇

Putin continues to use abhorrent tactics against the Ukrainian people, including abducting innocent civilians.
He is not achieving his objectives and is resorting to desperate measures.
Putin must fail in Ukraine. #thetaken twitter.com/zminaUkraine/s…

Yesterday, Russia was isolated in the Security Council. Its resolution failed to get more than 2 votes.
Today, 140 countries voted with Ukraine, making clear Russia is to blame for this catastrophe.

Today @BorisJohnson and I are at the @NATO Summit to discuss further steps to reassure Allies and deter any threats to NATO after Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

Resounding defeat for Russia’s proposed Security Council resolution. The international community sees through Putin’s disinformation & overwhelmingly recognises that Russia is the aggressor. Russia’s text was an insult to Ukraine. We will not stand for it. twitter.com/UKUN_NewYork/s…

So sorry to hear of the death of Madeleine Albright.
She was the first female US Secretary of State and a huge champion of freedom and democracy.
We need to stand by these values now more than ever.

The Putin regime knows no bounds when it comes to fighting those who dare to speak out against it.
I condemn the politically-motivated sentence imposed on @navalny and call on the Kremlin to release him immediately.
496
Good to speak to Ukrainian FM @DmytroKuleba. We discussed how the UK, alongside #G7 allies and partners, will increase economic pressure against Putin’s regime.
We will not stop in our mission to cut off funds for Russia’s brutal war machine.

A year after China applied sanctions, we stand in solidarity with the parliamentarians, lawyers and academics who continue to fight for the Uyghurs in Xinjiang.

I am appalled by Russian atrocities in Mariupol, including attacks on schools sheltering civilians and the abduction and deportation of Ukrainians.
Putin is resorting to desperate measures as he is not achieving his objectives. Putin and his regime will be held to account.
