‘We are providing further military aid, including protected mobility vehicles.

We have issued new sanctions against members of the Russian military.

‘We will be reopening our embassy in Kyiv, demonstrating our solidarity with the Ukrainian people.

‘And the UK government is helping to collect evidence of war crimes.

‘Russia must be held to account for its actions.’
