I look forward to discussing prospects for an end to the War in Ukraine today. But one cannot repeat too often that this war was started one year ago as a result of unprovoked and illegal Russian aggression. If Russia stops fighting, the war ends, if Ukraine stops … @scga_scot

The report saw a lack of ‘diplomatic ingenuity’ and of ‘adroit and purposeful diplomacy’. Leading some to ask whether British diplomacy could be more like the French. The volume is available online issuu.com/fcohistorians/docs…

This morning I attended the French Armistice Day service at the Arc de Triomphe hosted by President @EmmanuelMacron.
As friends & allies, the UK & France will always stand shoulder to shoulder in defence of freedom and democracy.

First time attending a Ravivage de la flamme ceremony @ArcDeTriomphe. Important event marking 82nd Anniversary of the #BattleOfBritain with @MennaRawlings & @MIRALLESMP leading the commemoration. A reminder of the shared history and close defence cooperation between UK & France.
This evening, at the Ravivage de la 🔥 ceremony at the @ArcDeTriomphe, we mark the 82nd Anniversary of the #BattleOfBritain. Remembering the bravery & sacrifice of ‘#TheFew’, which included 13 aircrew from 🇫🇷.
