As Putin terrorises Ukrainian civilians, his own losses are piling up.    Russia has suffered over a million military casualties for just 1.1% territory gained since November 2022.     Putin must end the fighting, come to the negotiating table and engage in meaningful talks.

A moving day in Coxโ€™s Bazar, meeting Rohingya families and the Bangladeshi communities who have welcomed them.   Their stories will stay with me. It is humbling to see the strength of women and girls in particular here.

Putin is trying to plunge Ukraine into darkness & cold. But Ukraine will not face winter alone. We are providing further support for urgent repairs to keep the lights on & help support those worst-hit by the loss of power, water & heating. Ukraine's security is our security.

Russia terrorises civilians in Ukraine, regularly launching 500+ drones per attack, hitting residential and civilian infrastructure. Ukraineโ€™s determination to defend itself from these attacks remains undimmed. We continue to support Ukraine and ramp up the pressure on Russia.
