As Ukrainians slept, Russia launched another deadly attack on Kyiv. The devastating impact on civilians and civilian infrastructure is truly horrific.

The UK will continue working with partners to support Ukraine and to hold Russia accountable for its aggression.

From tackling climate change to working to achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine and the Middle East, I'm working with my counterparts on the challenges that cross borders.

Britain is best served by having a stronger relationship with our European allies.

As the devastating wildfires in France continue, our thoughts are with all those affected and with the emergency workers responding on the ground.

Together in Paris today Foreign Minister @jnbarrot and @FCDOGovUK Secretary @Ed_Miliband discussed how the strong relationship between France and the United Kingdom can help tackle the worsening impacts of climate change, our joint support for Ukraine, European security and our shared efforts towards de-escalation in the Middle East.

From defence & security to clean energy & growth, 🇬🇧, 🇫🇷 & 🇪🇸 have shared values & shared interests which make even deeper cooperation so vital.
