In the year since the military junta seized power in Myanmar, they have terrorised its people into submission through fear and violence. Together with our allies, we are launching new sanctions against those responsible👇🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦gov.uk/government/new…

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…

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 🇬🇧🇫🇰

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.

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.
513
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.
514
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.
515
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.
516
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. 👇

I will be hosting @MarosSefcovic later today for talks. My priority is doing what’s right for communities and businesses in Northern Ireland and protecting the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement.

Now law: Our tough new sanctions regime against Russia, giving the UK the power to target individuals and organisations of strategic value to the Russian state.
We will use these sanctions if Russia invades Ukraine. Nothing will be off the table 👇 gov.uk/government/new…

Spoke to @SecBlinken today about acute concerns that Russia may launch further military aggression against Ukraine in coming days.
We agree Russia will face massive consequences for any invasion, including severe sanctions.
Russia must deescalate and engage with @NATO proposals

Talked to Israeli FM @yairlapid this evening about the serious situation of Russian aggression towards Ukraine as well as the talks in Vienna to ensure Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon.
We are deepening 🇬🇧🇮🇱 economic & security cooperation through a new Bilateral Roadmap

Discussed the situation in Ukraine with Canadian ally @melaniejoly. We agreed:

➡️ Any invasion will have severe consequences, including sanctions
➡️ 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 and @NATOallies are coordinated in defending European security
522
Today I chaired a COBR meeting on the serious Russian threat to Ukraine.
Latest information suggests Russia could invade at any moment and we urge the Kremlin to deescalate.
Our focus is on prioritising the safety and security of British nationals in Ukraine.
523
Russia could invade Ukraine at any moment and we urge the Kremlin to step back from the brink.
Any invasion would have severe consequences, including coordinated sanctions.
But there is still time for diplomacy and for Russia to de-escalate.
524
Important discussion with @DmytroKuleba 🇺🇦 on 🇬🇧 support for Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression.
The UK, @G7 and our @NATO allies are united in our support for Ukraine. Russia must de-escalate, engage in talks and respect Ukraine’s sovereignty.
525
Russia is patently failing to live up to the international commitments it has made around transparency.
Read my statement on Russia’s refusal to engage with the OSCE process. 👇
