Tragic to learn of over 40 Ukrainians killed and many more injured in an indiscriminate strike by Putinโ€™s forces in Poltava. I offered condolences to Defence Minister Rustem Umerov on his visit to London today & assured him the UK will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes

Dreadful news about the death of one of our Royal Navy personnel in an incident overnight. My thoughts are with their family, friends and colleagues at this difficult time. There will be a full investigation into how this accident occurred.

Deeply saddened to hear of the tragic death of a member of the Royal Navy. My thoughts are with the family and loved ones during this painful time. I pay tribute to HMS Queen Elizabeth shipโ€™s company, particularly those involved in the search and rescue operation.
