Spoke with @SecBlinken The 🇬🇧 & 🇺🇸 are working with our allies to support Ukraine against Putin’s illegal war.

My statement to mark the first 100 days of the barbaric war in Ukraine 👇

Welcomed @Kasparov63, a great champion of freedom and democracy, to @FCDOGovUK this afternoon
The free world must not rest until Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity is restored and Russia is held to account
More weapons will be supplied and more sanctions imposed🇺🇦
830
Today, 4th June, we remember the peaceful protestors who lost their lives in Tiananmen Square 33 years ago. Despite Chinese attempts to erase the history books we will never forget them.
The UK will continue to stand up for those who defend freedom and human rights in China.
831
The Platinum Jubilee Pageant truly showcases the best of British. A wonderful way to tell the story of The Queen’s 70-year reign and how society has transformed over the decades.

The Prime Minister has my 100% backing in today's vote and I strongly encourage colleagues to support him.
He has delivered on covid recovery and supporting Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. He has apologised for mistakes made.
We must now focus on economic growth.
833
Delighted to meet Estonian Prime Minister @kajakallas.
As close NATO allies, we are committed to Europe’s security and ensuring Putin loses in Ukraine.
Together we will defend freedom and democracy.
🇬🇧🇪🇪
834
Pleased that colleagues have backed the Prime Minister. I support him 100%. Now's the time to get on with the job.
835
Great to meet Prime Minister of Kosovo @albinkurti. We discussed:
👉 Strengthening our bilateral relationship 🇬🇧🇽🇰
👉 Galvanising action against Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine
👉 Challenging malign influence in the Western Balkans
836
I utterly condemn the sentencing of Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner held by Russian proxies in eastern Ukraine.
They are prisoners of war. This is a sham judgment with absolutely no legitimacy.
My thoughts are with the families. We continue to do everything we can to support them.
837
Spoke with Ukrainian FM @DmytroKuleba to discuss efforts to secure the release of prisoners of war held by Russian proxies. The judgement against them is an egregious breach of the Geneva convention.
The UK continues to back Ukraine against Putin’s barbaric invasion.
838
Spoke to Vice President @MarosSefcovic to discuss the legislation we are announcing today to fix the problems with the Northern Ireland Protocol and restore political stability.
Our preference is a negotiated solution, but EU must be willing to change the Protocol itself.
839
Spoke to @simoncoveney about the Bill we’re announcing today to protect peace and stability in Northern Ireland and uphold the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement.
We remain open to negotiations with the EU, but we cannot wait to fix the issues facing the people of NI.
840
Just Introduced: This Bill is a reasonable and practical solution to
➡️ Fix problems facing businesses and people in Northern Ireland
➡️ Uphold the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement
➡️ Protect UK and EU markets

841
The serious situation in Northern Ireland means we cannot afford to delay.
This Bill sets out comprehensive solutions to fix problems with the Northern Ireland Protocol, while protecting the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement.

40 years ago, British Armed Forces liberated the Falkland Islands.
We remember their brave sacrifice to defend the Islanders' rights to determine their own future.
We will always stand up to threats made to freedom, sovereignty and self-determination.

Fully support the Netherlands' statement on behalf of 47 countries at @UN_HRC, condemning China’s appalling human rights violations in Xinjiang & Tibet and undermining fundamental freedoms in Hong Kong.
The evidence is undeniable and China must stop human rights violations. twitter.com/NLinGeneva/sta…
844
Just Announced: I have sanctioned:
👉 Patriarch Kirill, Head of Russian Orthodox Church & vocal supporter of Putin’s war
👉 Enablers & perpetrators of Putin’s war who have brought suffering to Ukraine

845
We will never tire of defending freedom and democracy.
The UK stands with Ukraine for the long haul.
My statement to @HouseofCommons 👇

This piece by @DmytroKuleba is right - the world cannot afford to turn away from Russia's appalling war in Ukraine - instead we need to continue to help 🇺🇦 win.
Bowing to Putin’s aggression would allow him to rewrite the rules of the global order👇

Pleased the UK has secured the release of 5 British nationals detained in Afghanistan. They will soon be reunited with their families. I am grateful for the hard work of British diplomats to secure this outcome.
