UK stands by Australia and the Netherlands in calling on the Russian government to accept responsibility for the tragedy of MH17.
We must deliver justice for the families of the victims. This is just another example of the Kremlin’s barbaric actions against innocent civilians.

Welcome news from @yairlapid that Israel will support sanctions against Russia.🇮🇱
We are working with our allies and partners to apply pressure on Putin and challenge his unprovoked and needless attack on Ukraine. twitter.com/BarakRavid/sta…

Sanctions Update: After today we will have designated over 1,000 individuals and entities since Russia’s invasion.
This includes over 370 new sanctions announced today - possible thanks to the new Economic Crime Act.
Putin must fail in Ukraine
655
Another #UKAid flight carrying medical supplies for Ukraine has taken off today – our ninth so far. 40 pallets from @NHSScotland, including resuscitators and ventilators on their way to people in need.
We continue to do all we can to support Ukraine 🇬🇧 🇺🇦
656
The UK is leading the way with our historic round of sanctions - further isolating Putin’s enablers for their illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

I can confirm Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and Anoosheh Ashoori will return to the UK today, and Morad Tahbaz has been released from prison on furlough. They will be reunited with their families later today.
We will continue to work to secure Morad's departure from Iran.
658
The release of our British nationals from detention in Iran is news the whole country can rejoice in. I’m sure we all share in the huge relief the detainees and their families must be feeling. My statement in full 👇

I am delighted that Nazanin, Anoosheh and Morad have been released by the Iranians and will be reunited with their families and loved ones.
660
The release of Nazanin, Anoosheh and Morad is the result of the efforts and dedication of many people both in the FCDO and across government.
I pay tribute to my predecessors and the PM, who have all worked hard to resolve this issue, and to our brilliant diplomats and officials
661
Delighted that Nazanin and Anoosheh have landed safely in the UK and are reunited with their families and loved ones. Welcome home.
662
Great to see both Anoosheh and Nazanin in such good spirits. An emotional moment for both families as they welcome them home.
663

Great being back in Blackpool for @Conservatives Spring Conference #CPSC22
I am proud that at this moment of peril, our government has stepped up to lead.
667
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.
668
Good to meet @oleksiireznikov, Ukrainian Defence Minister with @BWallaceMP.
We continue to support Ukraine - putting tough sanctions on Russia with our G7 allies, supplying defensive weapons and providing humanitarian support.

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.
We are working together to hold China to account for its human rights violations.

Appalled by the terror attack in Be’er Sheva, Israel this afternoon.
The UK stands in solidarity with the people of Israel and my thoughts are with the victims and their families 🇮🇱🇬🇧
671
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.
672
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.
673
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.
674
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…

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.
