We have shown Putin that his invasion has consequences. In addition to one of the world’s biggest sanctions packages against Russia, we are ratcheting up pressure by introducing emergency legislation to go faster and harder on Putin’s enablers.
They will have nowhere to hide.
552
We need ironclad unity among allies in support of Ukraine. I joined 🇪🇺 FAC today where we agreed with 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 that Putin must fail in Ukraine and that we will continue to use sanctions to debilitate the Russia economy and war machine. We all stand with @DmytroKuleba and Ukraine.
553
My G7 counterparts 🇺🇸🇫🇷🇮🇹🇩🇪🇯🇵🇪🇺🇨🇦 and I agree we must reduce dependency on Russian fuel over time. Together we will support Ukraine, degrade the Russian economy through sanctions and ensure Putin fails.
554
At this moment of danger for European security we stand united with our @NATO allies. Our commitment to Article 5 is unflinching and we are reinforcing NATO’s eastern flank. The UK will continue to offer political, defensive and humanitarian support to Ukraine. Putin must fail.
555
The international community is rallying around Ukraine 🇺🇦 and isolating Russia. @UN_HRC has voted 32-2 to set up a Commission of Inquiry to hold the Putin regime to account for violations and abuses of human rights. Those responsible must pay the price.
556
The reckless attack on Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is hugely concerning and we are relieved that the fire has been extinguished. We are seeking an urgent session of the @UN Security Council and will use all the legal and political means at our disposal to address the issue.

Four years ago today Russia used Novichok on the streets of Salisbury. Barbaric behaviour remains a tactic of the Putin regime: terrorising innocent civilians while continuing to deflect and dodge questions. There can be #NoImpunity for their actions.
558
Together with our Baltic allies we’re stepping up to help Ukraine defend itself.
We’re reinforcing NATO’s eastern flank, supporting European security and degrading Putin’s war machine with sanctions.
Putin must lose in Ukraine.
559
Sanctioning Alisher Usmanov and Igor Shuvalov sends a clear signal that Britain will target those closely associated with Putin and his barbarous invasion of a sovereign European nation. There will be more to come. Acting with allies, our sanctions will degrade Russia’s economy.

The United Kingdom’s commitment to our Baltic allies is unyielding.
We are helping Ukraine defend itself, reinforcing NATO’s eastern flank and supporting European security. Putin must lose in Ukraine.

Ukraine’s fight for democracy and freedom is key for our European security. Lithuanian President @GitanasNauseda and I agreed tonight on the importance of our steadfast support for 🇺🇦 and our implacable opposition to Putin’s aggression.
562
Our Baltic friends live in the shadow of Russian aggression. I am in Vilnius meeting 🇪🇪 @eliimets 🇱🇻 @edgarsrinkevics and 🇱🇹 @GLandsbergis
to discuss how we work together to support Ukraine, isolate Putin and oppose his illegal invasion. Putin must fail.
563
🇬🇧 and 37 of our allies have referred atrocities in Ukraine to the @IntlCrimCourt.
Russia is using indiscriminate force against innocent civilians in its illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. The Putin regime must be held accountable.
564
The #UN General Assembly has voted with an overwhelming majority condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Russia is isolated.
The United Kingdom stands with Ukraine 🇬🇧 🇺🇦.

Together we must do everything we can to support the Ukrainian people in their hour of need.

We are banning Russian ships from UK ports and preventing more Russian banks, including Sberbank, from doing business through our financial system. This will dent Russia's economy and isolate them more. twitter.com/FCDOGovUK/stat…

At the UN Human Rights Council @UN_HRC this week, I called out Putin for his appalling actions in Ukraine.
The world must isolate Russia on the international stage. Putin must lose.
569
The Lukashenko regime actively aids and abets Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine and will be made to feel the economic consequences for its support for Putin.
We've launched a first tranche of sanctions against Belarusian individuals and organisations.

🇬🇧 humanitarian aid teams are working with UN’s @Refugees to help those fleeing war and terror in Ukraine.
UN High Commissioner for Refugees @FilippoGrandi and I today discussed need for our continued shared international leadership to support 🇺🇦

We have a moral duty to support Ukrainians forced to live in fear by Putin’s invasion of 🇺🇦
🇬🇧 has pledged £220m in aid to Ukraine. I told @UNReliefChief Martin Griffiths we’re right behind @UN’s Flash Appeal & will ensure safe aid routes. We must – and will – do more.
574
The UK 🇬🇧 and 50+ countries staged a walk out of 🇺🇳 UN Human Rights Council as Russia started speaking today.
Lavrov’s statement was full of disinformation and did not deserve the attention of the @UN_HRC.
Russia is isolated and should be ashamed to sit in the UN chamber. twitter.com/SergiyKyslytsy…

At the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva I called out Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, and urged the world to condemn Russia’s appalling actions and isolate it on the world stage. Putin must not win. Read my statement to @UN_HRC👇gov.uk/government/spe…
