This is how I can see my aunt from Kherson region for the first time in 9 months - in a video hugging a Ukrainian soldier. She even doesn’t know to have become an internet star 💙💛

Finland and Sweden joining NATO would represent a massive strategic defeat for Putin. The unintended consequences of his disastrous invasion of #Ukraine️ continue to multiply.

'These are war crimes, absolutely.'

Former UK Ambassador to the UN Sir Mark Lyall Grant reacts to the Russian military's atrocities in Bucha, where bodies litter the streets.

Kherson is #Ukraine . Crimea is Ukraine. Always will be. Fake referendums don’t change that. They just add to the criminal rap sheet.

Human Rights Council votes overwhelmingly to establish a Commission of Inquiry on massive human rights violations perpetrated by Russia in Ukraine. Only Russia and Eritrea oppose. #HRC49 #StandWithUkraine️

She survived WW2 & the siege of Leningrad, Stalin’s brutal post war rule, the collapse of communism and probably plenty more we don’t know about, but 80 year old Yelena Osipiva couldn’t escape arrest by Putin’s police because she dared to protest at his #UkraineRussiaWar

Tonight 38 countries from across the world have made the largest ever referral to the International Criminal Court for Russia’s barbaric invasion of Ukraine.

We are crystal clear that Putin cannot commit these horrific acts with impunity.

Today’s historic vote marks a moment where the contrast between right and wrong has rarely been so stark.

141 countries have voted to condemn Putin’s war.

Russia must withdraw from Ukraine. Putin must fail.

The determined bravery of the Ukrainian people is astonishing to those who, like Putin himself, have built their vision of the world on a refusal to acknowledge it.

Disappointing that India and the UAE abstained on UN Security Council Resolution deploring Russian military aggression against #Ukraine . What price standing up for democracy and territorial integrity? In 2014, all elected members voted to condemn Russian annexation of Crimea.

Fascinating. Makes sense to me.

The Kremlin has conducted a long campaign of lies while planning a war of choice in Europe.

This breach of international law will lead to enormous suffering and is yet another example of the Russian leadership’s disregard for democracy and human life.

This is important. Elizabeth Wilmshurst is a top authority in international law. Here she 'debunks Russians legal justifications' for their attack on Ukraine.

Maybe Putin got cocky from the 2014 intervention in Ukraine and 2015 intervention in Syria. But it’s impossible to say things are going well for him in Ukraine now. This is exactly why I didn’t expect him to try to take the whole country.

The UK stands with Ukraine and its people as they courageously defend their freedom and their democracy.

Сполучене Королівство стає разом з Україною та її народом, який мужньо захищає свою свободу та демократію.

What is Imran Khan doing? Shameful - and embarrassing for the Pakistani people.

Boris Johnson's best speech - his stated objective for the West is correct: using all possible means, to make Putin's reckless military attack a failure.

Good that HC Christian Turner has confirmed that the ECB was not acting on British Government advice in cancelling the Pakistan tour. A short sighted and self serving decision.
