On way to the Friends of Ukraine meeting at @WorldBank 🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine
Important talks on plans for @EduCannotWait, the global fund for education in emergencies. ECW has supported 4.6 million children since its launch by 🇬🇧 and partners in 2016. It is ready to grow and provide even more vital education services for children affected by crisis.
RT @trussliz: Our intelligence reveals Russia is intentionally targeting civilian infrastructure in Mariupol. Putin’s regime is committing war crimes on a horrific scale and the depravity is plain to see.
Those responsible will be held to account.

RT @trussliz: NEWS: Today I announce new sanctions on those with Ukrainian blood on their hands including the commander of the unit which occupied Bucha and other individuals and businesses supporting Putin’s military.
We are relentless in support of Ukraine.

Wishing Her Majesty the Queen a very happy birthday. #GodSavetheQueen
Met Zambian 🇿🇲 Minister of Finance @S_Musokotwane to discuss their progress made on economic reforms to drive growth. All creditors must now deliver on commitments made to the Common Framework
Today I met @NigelClarkeJa to learn more about Jamaica’s leadership in building resilience and managing climate risk. Looking forward to working together to help deliver the promise of Glasgow Climate Pact for SIDS’ vulnerability to be considered and to improve access to finance
Landed in Washington DC today for the @WorldBank Spring Meetings.
Important moment for the international community to come together on Ukraine, food security, debt, climate change and building a #ResilientFuture
It’s 4 years since Daniel Ortega violently repressed democratic protests in #Nicaragua 🇳🇮. In response, the UK 🇬🇧 has sanctioned 14 Nicaraguan leaders for undermining democracy or human rights. 🇬🇧 continues to press for a return to democracy & release of political prisoners.
Good to meet Jamaican Foreign Minister @kaminajsmit. We discussed the breadth of 🇬🇧🇯🇲 relations, and the concerns of Small Island Developing States, including on climate change and access to finance. The UK is determined to ensure SIDS have better access to reliable financing.
@MoazzamTMalik @FCDOGovUK @PhilipRBarton @CatrionaLaing1 @JaneMarriottUK @AJPhillipson @TomDrewUK @JamesCleverly @RMontgomeryUK Moazzam - thank you so much for the warm welcome you gave me on my first day at @FCDOGovUK. Thank you for caring so deeply for others across the world & all the work you have done. You are right, it’s an amazing team of brilliant colleagues. May the force be with you too!
As a cricket fan, I send many congratulations to Sir Alastair Cook for his half century for @EssexCricket today.
He has now scored over 25,000 runs in first class cricket.
Very proud to represent Chelmsford, home of Essex Cricket. #legend 🏏
RT @trussliz: NEW: UK sanctions Eugene Tenenbaum & David Davidovich, two key oligarchs and long-standing associates of Roman Abramovich.
Alongside #G7 and our partners, we will keep going with sanctions until Putin fails in Ukraine. Nothing and no one is off the table
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-hits-key-russian-oligarchs-with-sanctions-worth-up-to-10bn
RT @FCDOGovUK: SANCTIONED: Roman Abramovich's associates ↓
❌ David Davidovich
❌ Eugene Tenenbaum
The single largest asset freeze in UK history – worth up to £10bn.
The UK 🇬🇧 and Rwanda 🇷🇼 are entering a ground-breaking partnership to:
➡️ address the broken asylum system
➡️ ensure those in genuine need of protection are safe & secure
➡️ disrupt the work of organised crime gangs
Without action, the human costs are simply too high.
RT @trussliz: Russian threats towards the Nordic & Baltic states are not new and only strengthen our unity.
Sweden and Finland are free to choose their future without interference - the UK will support whatever they decide. 🇬🇧 🇸🇪 🇫🇮
It's appalling that some criminals want to use charity work as a cover to sexually exploit and abuse people in need of assistance in Ukraine. We are working with @chtycommission so trustees take steps to protect people from harm https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ukraine-crisis-increased-risk-of-sexual-exploitation-and-abuse-and-sexual-harassment
Recent flooding in KwaZulu-Natal province in South Africa 🇿🇦 has caused devastating damage and loss of life.
Our heartfelt condolences goes to everyone affected.
RT @UKUN_NewYork: Launched today:
The Murad Code is a new global code of conduct to ensure survivors of sexual violence in conflict can have their experiences recorded safely, improves the chance of justice and reduces trauma
@NadiaMuradBasee @tariqahmadbt @USGSRSGPatten
RT @trussliz: The @OSCE Moscow Mechanism report exposes the horrific war crimes of the Putin regime. A damning indictment of Russia’s illegal and brutal war.
We will not rest until those responsible are brought to justice.
