The UK and Ukraine stand united for justice #U4J 🇬🇧🇺🇦

[Victoria Prentis @VictoriaPrentis]

Yesterday I visited Bucha where the reality of the horrors faced hit home. While battles still rage, @AndriyKostinUa is both prosecuting those who have committed atrocities in Ukraine and deterring any further crimes. The UK stands with Ukraine in our shared fight for justice 🇺🇦

@diplojenny @ziadramley I promise it didn’t sound this mean when I said it out loud!!

[Fiona Henry @fnoiahrney]

Happy New Year everyone…

[Chris York @ChrisDYork]

We’re only 40 minutes into 2023 there’s already been the first explosion in Kyiv, air defence I think. Came just seconds after the sirens sounded.

Country-wide alert currently in place.

[Fiona Henry @fnoiahrney]

Twelve months ago I welcomed a New Year in Kyiv, with barely an idea of what was to come. Tonight I’ll see it out from this city too. In spite of Russia’s efforts, Ukraine is still here. We @UKinUkraine are still here. Wishing my 🇺🇦 friends a happy, victorious 2023.

@MeganLDaly Saving the world and still finds time to force me to eat fruit 🍉💙💛

🚨Svita Appreciation Post🚨
I feel so lucky to know this remarkable person. Witnessing her and all our 🇺🇦 colleagues' bravery this year has been the privilege of a lifetime. The best Christmas gift ever to see her being recognised!

[Dame Melinda Simmons @MelSimmonsFCDO]

So proud of my colleague Svita Yavorska who spoke with @RishiSunak in his #XMAS2022 call. Along with so many of our 🇺🇦 colleagues she has been brave and she has helped so many others during the 🇷🇺 invasion. She deserved this great opportunity!

Kyiv’s Christmas craft markets are in full swing, albeit very candle-heavy compared to last year. Happy with my selection. #СвітлоПереможе #УкраїнаПереможе

🔥🔥🔥essential reading from @OKhromeychuk

[The New Statesman @NewStatesman]

People deny me credibility because I am female, young, eastern European. They have treated my country the same way.

@OKhromeychuk on why the West underestimated Ukraine. https://t.co/beU4RBWqwm

On the day the war ends I will be launching the campaign for @AKamyshin to come to Scotland and sort out our trains 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤦‍♀️

[Alexander Kamyshin @AKamyshin]

If you're traveling this week, please be aware that we're expecting #russians shelling Ukrainian railway infrastructure again and again. Actually they didn't stop for a day. So we regularly find shit like this on our tracks, demine it and #KeepRunningOnSchedule.

@CrispianWFCDO This is the only kind of Diplo twitter content that truly makes me feel seen, thank you Crispian

[Fiona Henry @fnoiahrney]

Thank you for coming to Ukraine @JamesCleverly

[Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office @FCDOGovUK]

“The resilience of the Ukrainian people is remarkable.”

The UK is helping to rebuild Ukraine.

Foreign Secretary @JamesCleverly was in Irpin today meeting Ukrainians resisting Russia’s barbaric attacks.

Netflix execs: “should we perhaps read the news or a history book to make sure we’re not touching any nerves here?”
…
“Nah”

🇬🇧❤️🇺🇦

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

Britain knows what it means to fight for freedom.

We are with you all the way @ZelenskyyUa 🇺🇦🇬🇧

Британія знає, що означає боротися за свободу.

Ми з вами до кінця @ZelenskyyUa 🇺🇦🇬🇧

[Fiona Henry @fnoiahrney]

Will be watching this on loop and crying for the rest of the week

[CNN @CNN]

"This is what liberation looks like, this is what liberation feels like"

Euphoric crowds burst into song as @NicRobertsonCNN reports from the newly liberated Ukrainian city of Kherson https://t.co/NYXB86MGic

[Fiona Henry @fnoiahrney]

Celebrating the liberation of Kherson with large quantities of carbs and sugar today: we conducted a highly scientific taste test of Zavertailo's British PM pastries. For impartiality reasons the jury can only report they were all delicious. 🇺🇦🇬🇧

Thread of the week:

[Oleksandra Povoroznyk 🇺🇦 @rynkrynk]

I really don’t know who needs to hear this in our day and age of accessible information, but: no, Ukraine isn’t a right-wing state. The biggest party in our parliament (with 240 seats out of 450) is Servant of the People — a centrist, kinda populist, liberal and pro-European

[Vassili Golod @VassiliGolod]

Russia turns children's playgrounds into war zones. Little Askold has been playing in Shevchenko Park since he was a baby. A hole now marks where his favourite swing used to stand. The 9-year-old talks about the brutality of war. Like an adult.

[Ukrainska Pravda in English @pravda_eng]

FSB published a video of an "examination of the truck" and its "X-ray", which allegedly shows explosives.

Where on the "x-ray" another axle with wheels and a frame disappeared, the FSB does not specify 🤡

[Fiona Henry @fnoiahrney]

🇵🇱-🇬🇧-🇺🇦 solidarity amongst women leaders @kongreskobiet today - a clear, shared vision and optimism for Ukraine after the war, stronger than ever with women at the decision-making table. @WomenuaToday @AnnaClunes @Ole_Kondratiuk @osce_odihr
