Міністр замежных спраў Івет Купер: "Начная бамбардзіроўка Украіны Расіяй і беспрэцэдэнтнае парушэнне паветранай прасторы НАТА - чарговыя яркія прыклады безразважнасці Пуціна і яго непавагі да жыцця людзей і міру. Мы салідарныя з 🇵🇱 і 🇺🇦 у связі з абуральнымі дзеяннямі Расіі."

Clamping down on Putin’s war chest is just one way this government is supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russia for lasting peace. That's why today, 100 new sanctions are being imposed on Russia.

Міністр па справах Еўропы Дауці: “Вызваленне яшчэ большай колькасці палітзняволеных у Беларусі азначае значны прарыў. Мы дзякуем ЗША за іх значныя дыпламатычныя высілкі, накіраваныя на дасягненне гэтага рэзультата. Мы вельмі радыя, што грамадзянка Вялікабрытаніі вернецца дадому.

On this #DemocracyDay we recall that democracy provides the space for universal human rights to be realised. Over a thousand political prisoners in Belarus remind us: when there is no independent legal system, human rights are not respected. #StandWithBelarus

We welcome yesterday's announcement of the release of 25 political prisoners in Belarus. We hope all the remaining 1,000+ political detainees will be released soon and reunited with their families and loved ones.

Мы вітаем учорашнюю заяву аб вызваленні 25 палітвязняў у Беларусі. Мы спадзяемся, што астатнія 1,000+ палітвязняў будуць неўзабаве вызваленыя і ўз'яднаюцца са сваімі сем'ямі і блізкімі.

I welcome the news that a deal has been reached on the first stage of President Trump’s peace plan for Gaza.

On #DeathPenaltyDay we recall that Belarus is the only country in Europe where capital punishment still exists. We reaffirm our position: the death penalty is a cruel and irreversible punishment, open to misuse and offering no proven deterrent.

I’m championing the interests of British people at COP30. Here, I’ll set out the economic opportunities of net zero: delivering energy security, lowering bills, creating good jobs, and firing up our industrial heartlands.

Russia has been firing an average of 5000+ drones a month at Ukraine since July – almost 10x the 2023 average. Russia fired 270 missiles in October, up 46% on the previous month. Despite ongoing attacks, Ukrainians remain defiant. With the right support, Ukraine will prevail.

Today, Chargé d’Affaires a.i. of the United Kingdom Nicholas Collier and Chargé d’Affaires a.i. of France Pierre Pourtier laid flowers at the Military Cemetery in Minsk to honour those who gave their lives in war, marking Armistice Day and remembering their courage and sacrifice.

Five years have passed since Raman Bandarenka lost his life in tragic circumstances. There’s still no transparent investigation, no accountability. We remember Raman and urge an end to the repression that continues to target peaceful voices.

In Canada for the G7 Foreign Ministers meeting working with our closest partners to tackle some of the world’s greatest challenges, including Ukraine, Sudan, getting aid into Gaza, and economic security. The UK’s foreign policy is delivering for security at home.

A few weeks ago, the FCDO hosted a wonderful event which gathered, among other guests 4 former HMAs to Belarus, an MP & the current head of mission in Minsk. From left to right: Bruce Bucknell, Fionna Gibb, Jacqueline Perkins, MP Wendy Morton MP , David Ward, Rosemary Thomas

25 years ago, the international community agreed that women’s voices are vital for peace and security. Yet sexual violence remains widespread, and impunity persists. As #16DaysOfActivism begins, this is our call to turn promises into action.

Human Rights Day reminds us that all people deserve to be treated with dignity. Inhuman conditions in Belarusian prisons deprive political prisoners of this right. We are committed to protecting and strengthening human rights, both in our own countries and worldwide. #FreeBelarus

Міністр Купер: "Вітаю вызваленне групы палітзняволеных у Беларусі і дзякую спецпасланніку john coale і ЗША за іх намаганні, якія прывялі да гэтага. Вялікабрытанія будзе і надалей настойваць на неадкладным і безумоўным вызваленні ўсіх палітзняволеных і павазе да правоў чалавека."

As the Kremlin continues to stall on peace, we are ratcheting up pressure on Putin. Our latest sanctions double down on Russia’s plummeting oil revenues, and further squeeze Putin’s reeling war economy.

Дарагія сябры, віншуем вас з надыходзячым Новым годам! Зычым вам шмат радасці, шчасця і дабрабыту ў 2026ым! Няхай у гэты год з вамі будуць родныя і блізкія людзі, і светлая надзея не пакідае вашыя сэрцы! З цёплымі думкамі і шчырай удзячнасцю, Амбасада Вялікабрытаніі ў Мінску 💫🎄

An honour to meet Mala Tribich MBE today and hear her remarkable testimony. Her strength and determination to share her story, 80 years on from liberation, is humbling. We owe it to survivors like Mala to remember, and to ensure future generations do the same.
