This week I have been in Moscow to urge the Kremlin to abide by international agreements, de-escalate its aggression against Ukraine and engage in meaningful talks. 👇
652
This morning I laid a wreath at Moscow’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier - a deeply sobering reminder that war and conflict inflict a terrible human cost.
653
I delivered a clear message to Minister Lavrov that Russia must deescalate, respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and engage in meaningful talks.
If Russia is serious about not invading, we need to see troops withdraw. The military build-up is an undeniable threat to Ukraine.
654
This week I am in Moscow to deliver a strong message that war in Ukraine would be disastrous for Russia, Ukraine and European security.
Russia must pursue a diplomatic path and respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
655
In Moscow to meet Foreign Minister Lavrov and make clear that Russia must immediately withdraw its forces and respect Ukraine’s sovereignty or face severe consequences.
Any incursion would be a huge mistake. Diplomacy is the only way forward and Russia must pursue that path.
656
The West have agreed a united response to any Russian attack on Ukraine:
➡️ Severe economic sanctions against Russia
➡️ Further NATO support for our allies’ security
➡️ Strengthening Ukraine's defences

Shocked by the scenes outside Parliament today.
It is important in our democracy that @Keir_Starmer, @DavidLammy and all Parliamentarians should be able to go about their work without fear.
This intimidation must stop. Thanks to the police for taking action.

We completely reject any questions over sovereignty of the Falklands.
The Falklands are part of the British family and we will defend their right to self determination.
China must respect the Falklands' sovereignty 🇬🇧🇫🇰

The depths of Russian attempts to subvert and threaten Ukraine are clear.
Russia’s actions show their claims to have no plans to invade are false.
We and our allies stand united in support for Ukraine and our resolve to raise the cost to Russia if they take further action. twitter.com/washingtonpost…

Thank you for your devoted service, Your Majesty.

Spoke to NATO Secretary-General @jensstoltenberg and agreed:
➡️ Russia must cease its destabilising activities against Ukraine
➡️ Decisions on NATO membership are for NATO & those seeking to join
➡️ NATO allies are united. Any Russian incursion would be met with severe costs

We’re increasing our offer to NATO with extra troops, air support and defensive weapons to stand up against Russian aggression.
Any Russian incursion into Ukraine would be met with severe costs and coordinated sanctions.

It’s clear that the NI Protocol is not working as it stands.
This week I met with business and community groups in Northern Ireland as we continue our intensive talks with the EU to fix the Protocol and protect the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement.
