This morning, @AussenMinDE and I co-chaired a meeting of European Foreign Ministers with @andrii_sybiha. We welcomed progress in US/Ukraine discussions in Geneva and affirmed our determined support for just & lasting peace that upholds Ukraine's sovereignty & Europe's security.

Twenty five years on from the landmark Security Council resolution on Women, Peace and Security, rape and sexual violence continue to be used as weapons of war. We must not relent in our work until these horrific harms are consigned to history. https://t.co/6LUgKFT448

As conflict rages around the world, the plight of women has been seen as peripheral and progress has stalled — but we must not look away, Britain’s foreign secretary writes.

Sudan's crisis must not slip down the global agenda. The UK is working to end brutal violence, ease suffering and expose atrocities. We cannot allow impunity for the horrors in El Fasher and beyond – we must demand accountability, deliver aid and secure a lasting ceasefire.

A great visit with @JohnHealey_MP in Naples onboard @COMUKCSG – a powerful symbol of the UK’s unwavering commitment to NATO and European security. We spoke to Italy’s @Antonio_Tajani and @GuidoCrosetto to strengthen cooperation on security, defence and tackling illegal migration

Sudan is collapsing under a brutal war. The situation in El Fasher is devastating: summary executions, sexual violence, abductions. At @UN_HRC today, the UK condemned the atrocities on behalf of the Sudan Core Group 🇩🇪 🇮🇪 🇳🇱 🇳🇴 🇬🇧 Statement in full ⬇️ https://t.co/Z1Misb57dT

UK support for Ukraine is ironclad, as we stand shoulder to shoulder in our 100 Year Partnership. As FM @andrii_sybiha and I remembered those who have sacrificed their lives for freedom, we also looked forward to a secure and prosperous future for both our nations.

Last week in Jordan, I spoke with aid agencies about the urgency of flooding Gaza with aid. The partial opening of the Zikim crossing could help, but we are not yet seeing a sufficient increase in aid. We need all crossings open immediately the situation remains desperate.

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.

Putin has increased attacks on civilians and energy infrastructure, determined to make Ukrainians miserable for the cold winter ahead. The UK is providing humanitarian and energy infrastructure support to Ukraine 🇬🇧🇺🇦

In Jordan last week I saw warehouses full of aid still waiting to get into Gaza even though families are still going hungry. All aid routes must be opened and aid restrictions lifted now.

There are tonnes of UK aid for Gaza waiting in Jordan. The aid route from Jordan must be re-opened and restrictions must be lifted. The people of Gaza cannot wait.

The UK is stepping up support for Sudan. With an extra £5m in humanitarian aid for El Fasher—this includes vital support for survivors of sexual violence. This is on top of £120m already committed. The world must not look away. We must act to end the suffering.

25 years since #UNSCR1325, the Women, Peace and Security agenda remains central to UK foreign policy. Peace and security are not possible without women. It’s on all of us to help make this a reality.

We’re stepping up UK support for those hit by devastation in Jamaica and the Caribbean with a further £5m for shelter kits, solar lamps and emergency relief. And by chartering additional flights to help bring holiday makers home. We stand in solidarity with all those affected.
