The Kremlin continues to attack civilians in Ukraine, despite claiming it only targets military sites. Centre for Information Resilience used open-source data to verify 108 attacks on civilian infrastructure in July alone. See the research yourself ↓

Russian sham “elections” in the Ukrainian territories of Crimea, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Kherson are a blatant attempt to falsely legitimise Russia’s illegal control of Ukraine’s sovereign territory #TakenFromUkraine.

Reporting shows Russia is forcing Ukrainian residents to vote in its illegal “elections” in the Ukrainian oblasts of Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Kherson. Votes taken at gunpoint are neither free nor fair. #TakenFromUkraine

Declassified intelligence released today shows that Russia may use sea mines to target civilian shipping in the Black Sea. Putin is stopping food getting to the world's most vulnerable. The world is watching.

The Russian government's human rights abuses and violations in Ukraine are undeniable. Putin still claims he is liberating Ukraine, yet after visiting the country, the UN’s expert on torture concluded that Russia is implementing a policy of state-sponsored torture.

The average daily number of Russian casualties in Ukraine has risen by almost 300 during the course of 2023. If the numbers continue at the current rate over the next year, Russia will have lost over half a million personnel in Ukraine. 🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

On 6 June 1944, Allied troops landed on the Normandy beaches and the battle to liberate Europe began. 80 years on since D-Day, the largest amphibious invasion in the history of warfare, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of our freedom. #DDay80

The UK condemns the strike in Golan Heights that has tragically claimed at least 12 lives. We are deeply concerned about the risk of further escalation and destabilisation. We have been clear Hizballah must cease their attacks.

UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy is in the Middle East urging de-escalation following recent attacks in the region. Long-term peace will not be secured by bombs and bullets – but through diplomatic negotiation.

As Paris wraps up an incredible #Olympics, not every athlete has been fighting for medals. The number of Ukrainian athletes killed in the fight against Russian aggression has gone up to at least 491. We must double down on our support and continue to #StandWithUkraine.

The situation in the Middle East is deeply concerning. This evening, I spoke to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian about the need for all parties to de-escalate to avoid further confrontation. Now is the time for calm.

I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace. None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under
