Fifty years ago today, the Ukrainian Helsinki Group was founded by ten courageous individuals who dared to hold one of the world’s most repressive regimes accountable to its own international commitments.

The founders of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group understood that human rights could not remain words on paper. They exposed the persecution of Ukrainians, defended fundamental rights, and brought the truth about Soviet repression to the international community. Moscow responded with arrests and prison sentences. Yet the ideas these people defended proved stronger than the empire that imprisoned them.

Half a century later, Ukraine is once again confronting Moscow’s attempts to deny our people their freedom and our nation its sovereignty. The methods of repression have changed, but the imperial ambition behind them remains painfully familiar.

The Ukrainian Helsinki Group left us a lesson that Europe must never forget: international principles mean little if those who violate them face no consequences. The Helsinki legacy must be defended through action, accountability, and an unwavering commitment to the freedom of nations.

The courage of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group helped shape our path to independence. Our responsibility today is to ensure that the principles they defended prevail over Russia’s aggression.

The UK and Finland, as MFC co-chairs, have published a statement on the closure of independent media outlet Novaya Gazeta in Russia. 👇

[UK at the UN 🇬🇧🇺🇳 @UKUN_NewYork]

Russia is not winning its war.

54,000 Russian casualties last month. Net zero territory gained this year.

Russia will no doubt strike cities, trains and heating again this winter to break Ukraine’s spirit.

It won’t work.

We'll stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.

Thanks to @OSCEMoldova for hosting visit to #Moldova last week, including its offices in Chisinau and Tiraspol.

The UK is a strong supporter of Moldova’s European integration, and the @OSCE’s role in the Transnistria settlement process.

Ending impunity is not only about protecting journalists. It is about defending media freedom, democracy and our collective security.

At the @OSCE Permanent Council today, 🇫🇮 delivered a statement on behalf of the Informal Group of Friends on the Safety of Journalists.

[UK Delegation to the OSCE @UKOSCE]

There is no security without media freedom.

States must protect journalists, secure justice for attacks, and guarantee that media can work independently and without interference.

Statement by the OSCE Group of Friends on the Safety of Journalists: https://t.co/t2cBDGvpsp

[UK Delegation to the OSCE @UKOSCE]

Attacks against journalists must be investigated and those responsible held to account.

The UK calls for journalists held by Russia to be released and urges OSCE States to defend independent media.

#OSCE26CH | Ten days after the parliamentary elections, timely exchanges in #Belgrade with newly elected MPs from the “Student List” and Ana Brnabić, Acting President of Serbia.

In both meetings, we discussed the importance of an orderly political transition. The OSCE stands ready to support #Serbia in this transition, drawing on its extensive experience and expertise.

[UK Delegation to the OSCE @UKOSCE]

Historical claims do not give Russia the right to seize 🇺🇦 territory.

Borders are governed by international law, not selective readings of the past.

[Ed Miliband @Ed_Miliband]

Today at the G20 Foreign Ministers meeting, I set out the UK’s commitment to multilateralism.

We will always stand up for Britain’s values and interests in the world.

In the plenary, I told the Russian Foreign Minister that he should have the courage to tell Putin that Russia will not win this war.

[UK Delegation to the OSCE @UKOSCE]

Russian attacks killed at least 328 civilians in Ukraine in September, 85% more than a year earlier. Russia keeps changing its justifications for this war, but none stand up to scrutiny. UK statement: https://t.co/G06MFnRs8Q

[Ed Miliband @Ed_Miliband]

Today we’re announcing a new £10bn package of support for Ukraine.

This funding will help Ukraine meet its immediate needs, support economic resilience, and help defend its sovereignty from Russia’s illegal invasion.

We will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.

[Stewart Wood @StewartWood]

The UK congratulates the students of Serbia on their victory in today’s parliamentary elections. We welcome the commitment to a peaceful transition of power & look forward to working with the new government on reforms to strengthen democracy, the rule of law & media freedom.

"Only 🇺🇦 can make decisions about its security and sovereignty." @JamesFordUK

Sovereign equality of states is the foundation of genuine dialogue. For dialogue to produce lasting peace, Russia must accept and respect Ukraine’s sovereignty.

[James Ford @JamesFordUK]

🇬🇧 🇺🇦 #UK support for #Ukraine.

Sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the peaceful settlement of disputes are the foundations of the European security order agreed in the Helsinki Final Act.

[UK Delegation to the OSCE @UKOSCE]

Ukraine has shown it is ready for peace, including by agreeing to 🇺🇸 ceasefire proposal.

Russia has responded with attacks on energy infrastructure.

The 🇬🇧 will support 🇺🇦 and constrain Russia’s war machine for a just and lasting peace.
