Spoke to @MarosSefcovic on NI Protocol. I was clear that the UK government’s priority is upholding the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement, and getting the NI Executive back up and running. We need to ensure equal treatment for people of NI to bring parity with the rest of the UK.

I spoke to @DmytroKuleba about continued UK support for the brave Ukrainian people and confirmed the UK will provide up to £2m for @TheHALOTrust
It will help clear mines left by Russian forces, map hazardous zones so people can begin to return to affected areas. 🇬🇧🇺🇦

Met @simoncoveney at @coe. I was clear that our priority is upholding the Belfast Good Friday Agreement and restoring political stability in Northern Ireland.
We remain open to a negotiated solution but we cannot allow any more drift.

We’re joining @CanadaFP and 40 other partners in welcoming Ukraine’s case against Russia in the @CIJ_ICJ. Russia must be held to account for its invasion of Ukraine.
The Intl Court of Justice is vital to upholding the rule of law. Justice must be done.

On this day 40 years ago, British troops landed at San Carlos Bay ahead of the liberation of the Falkland Islands in June.
We remember their bravery and sacrifice.
The Falkland Islands are a vital part of the British family and we will always uphold their sovereignty 🇬🇧🇫🇰

Putin has been absolutely clear about his ambitions to create a greater Russia.

Further evidence of gross violations in Xinjiang. The UK is holding China to account:
➡️ Imposed sanctions against Chinese officials
➡️ Announced measures to tackle forced labour

China must grant @UNHumanRights access.

The Prime Minister has apologised and taken responsibility for the mistakes that have been made.
I back him 100% - we now need to drive our economy forward post-COVID and ensure Putin loses in Ukraine.
818
I’ve been in Northern Ireland today speaking with businesses to hear first-hand the problems they are facing with the Protocol.
Our proposals will cut costs for business, remove unnecessary paperwork and protect UK and EU markets.

It is appalling that Putin is trying to hold the world to ransom.

I paid respects to the hundreds of children killed in the siege of Sarajevo with the inspiring Mayor @BenjaminaKaric, a child herself at the time of the siege.
The horrors of the conflict here must never be repeated.

Russia’s aggression cannot be appeased. It must be met with strength.
That means backing Ukraine in their brave defence of their country.
