Russia’s attacks on Kyiv’s Pershka Lavra are deplorable. Attacks like this are why I have announced sanctions to target the vessels, the money and the actors propping up Russia’s war economy, and in turn, threatening European security. We will increase the pressure on Putin

Russia’s attack on Kyiv & across Ukraine last night killing civilians was barbarous. Attacking the sacred Pechersk Lavra monastery, is a violation of faith & heritage. We fully endorse Ukraine's call for support from @UNESCO. I conveyed our support to @r_stefanchuk today. 🇬🇧🇺🇦

Every civilian death is a tragedy. Responsibility is clear: Russia chose this illegal war. Russia’s unverified accusations lack credibility, given its record of blocking independent scrutiny and spreading lies. 🇬🇧:
