Today we have summoned the Russian Ambassador. Russiaβs violation of NATO airspace last week, striking a residential building in Romania, was reckless and dangerous. Its continued strikes across Ukraine show blatant disregard for civilian life.
The UK stands firmly with Ukraine, Romania and all NATO Allies.
On #KentDay, we are proud to fly the Flag of Kent not only here at home, but across Ukraine.
The White Horse of Kent β Invicta β has travelled with us, far beyond our shores to communities scarred by war, standing as a reminder of Kentβs enduring spirit: The Unconquered.
Every day, we see that same courage, resilience and defiance in the Ukrainian people we are proud to stand alongside. π¬π§ π€ πΊπ¦
Happy Kent Day. #GodSaveTheKing

Joined HE Foreign Minister @andrii_sybiha and Ambassadors in laying flowers at one of the forty sites in Kyiv city hit by Russian air strikes on Saturday night. Clearly a residential area. Clearly a civilian building. Deepest condolences to the families. π¬π§πΊπ¦
Great to have stood alongside Kentβs Ukrainian community in #Rochester on Saturday as we came together in solidarity to fundraise for people facing unimaginable hardship in Ukraine. πΊπ¦

Monitoring groups reported that more than 50 Russian missiles and upwards of 700 drones were launched towards Ukraine, almost entirely targeting the capital region, marking one of the largest Russian attacks over the past year.
Pleasure to facilitate a Zoom call between Mr Dmytro Fedorov, Head of ΠΠΎΠ²ΠΎΠ±ΡΠ»ΠΎΡΡΡΠΊΠ° ΡΡΠ»ΡΡΡΠΊΠ° ΡΠ°Π΄Π° and Councillor John Grey, Chairman of Higham Parish Council - Kent.
During the call discussions were had about the ongoing situation in Novyi Bilous, and ways that we can strengthen the already strong friendship that exists between #Higham and the Novyi Bilous community in the #Chernihiv Region of Ukraine.

Pictured here are some very fine examples of #Chernihiv embroidery that can be seen in the Chernihiv Regional Historical Museum named after V. V. Tarnovsky.

Zelensky has officially ordered preparations for a defense plan in case of a breakthrough attack from Belarusian territory, with Kyiv and Chernihiv regions considered at risk.
No child should be a pawn of war, yet Russia continues its heinous policy of indoctrinating and militarising Ukrainian children.
Today, the UK alongside 40 @OSCE participating States invoked the Moscow Mechanism to investigate these horrendous practises.
Today is a Day of Mourning. Moving to attend a memorial at Darnytsia, where 24 civilians, including 3 children, were killed by Russian strikes on a residential area. Our prayers are with the families. Respect to the rescue workers who worked tirelessly to evacuate survivors. π¬π§πΊπ¦
In the last 24 hours Russia has sent an unprecedented amount of drones and missiles into Ukrainian skies, days after asking for a ceasefire.
Sadly, rescuers are pulling people from the rubble of a block of flats in Kyiv. Our thoughts are with the victims.
@RussianEmbassy Russia's kidnapping of over 20,000 Ukrainian children is a crime against humanity for which full accountability must be had. When Justice comes knocking we must remember to include all those who spread the Kremlin's lies. #RussiaIsATerroristState
We have a huge task ahead of us at the town hall, but the advantage of having been honest about the financial challenge. @wandsworth is an incredibly talented group and itβs an honour to serve.
Hypocrisy of the highest degree... And a perversion of the historical truth.
The world will not forget the #warcrimes committed by Russia in Ukraine.
Thanks to Putin and his puppets, thousands of Russian mothers will be mourning the loss of their sons who were sent to die in the slaughter pits of a foreign land, for an illegal and completely unjustified war of aggression against sovereign Ukraine.
The legacy of Putin will be one of oppression, crimes against humanity and the destruction of the Russian state.
