Russia is deliberately attacking Ukraine’s electricity infrastructure.
And they’re using weapons made in Iran.
Russia wants to terrorise civilians and break their resolve.
But we will not let them succeed.

Attacks by extremists on aid convoys en route to Gaza are appalling.
Gazans are at risk of famine and in desperate need of supplies.
Israel must hold attackers to account and do more to allow aid in – I will be raising my concerns with the Israeli government.

The fighting in Sudan, Abyei and South Sudan must stop.
Peacekeepers and aid workers are risking their lives to try and alleviate suffering.
And they must not be targets.

Russia vetoed a draft resolution to prevent the placement of nuclear weapons in space.
They've vetoed two resolutions on nuclear non-proliferation in one month.
Russia wants to undo global non-proliferation to continue its illegal war in Ukraine. And we should all be concerned.

Last year, over 100 journalists were killed in conflict.
Nearly half the world's countries imprison journalists.
And disinformation is increasingly weaponised.
We need objective reporting more than ever: to protect truth, democracy and the vulnerable.

The UK has sanctioned extremist Israeli groups and individuals responsible for violence against Palestinian communities in the West Bank.
Extremist settlers are threatening prospects for peace.
Israeli authorities must clamp down on those responsible.
There have been at least 800 incidents of settler violence in the West Bank since October, according to the
@UN
.
Today’s sanctions target organisations and individuals supporting, inciting, engaging in and promoting these attacks.
