@ScotGovFM@JohnSwinney@USAinScotland Deeply honored to have @ScotGovFM John Swinney join us for our 🇺🇸 Independence Day celebration last night. Our matching Tartan was a total accident! 😉
It has been a pleasure representing the U.S. in Scotland. Thank you to the FM and the entire Scottish government as well as the Scottish people for such wonderful hospitality. The ties between 🇺🇸 and 🏴 are strong and growing deeper every day. @USAinScotland@ScotGovUSA

Ukraine’s victories on and off the battlefield illustrate the country’s resilience and commitment to its sovereignty from Russia. Today and every day, the United States stands #UnitedWithUkraine.
On the second anniversary of the war against Ukraine I laid a wreath at Edinburgh Castle on behalf of everyone @scotparl to remember those killed and lives upended by this war, and those who continue to defend their country and freedom.
On the two-year mark of Russia’s war against Ukraine, the U.S. is taking additional new steps to sanction individuals and entities – our largest number of designations in a single Russia-related action. https://t.co/VmxKeFVz4J
Today is 2nd anniversary of invasion of #Ukraine
We will commemorate those who have Fallen in defence of @Ukraine, in Edinburgh Castle’s National War Memorial @UKRinEdinburgh
Scotland’s First Minister @HumzaYousaf: The people of Scotland remain steadfast in support of Ukraine and its brave citizens. Ukrainians are fighting for freedom, the rule of law, and the right of countries across Europe to co-exist in peace and security

It was a year ago that my team and I arrived in Kyiv to declare without fear:
Our support for Ukraine will not waver, the world’s democracies will not be divided, and we will not tire.
Today, I met with Yulia and Dasha Navalnaya – Aleksey Navalny's loved ones – to express my condolences for their devastating loss.
Aleksey's legacy of courage will live on in Yulia and Dasha, and the countless people across Russia fighting for democracy and human rights.
Scotland stands in solidarity with Ukraine on the second anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion. Honoured to speak at Scottish parliament solidarity event with Consul General Kuslii, CPPG Convenor Beattie and join members of Scots-Ukrainian community. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 🏴
