Russia doesn’t allow foreign journalists to enter the occupied territories of Ukraine. Three Ukrainians in different Moscow-controlled cities spoke to me secretly “to let the world know what we face”. We changed their names for safety. ⁦@BBCNews⁩ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czj4…

Residents are eating garden weeds in the Russian-occupied city of #Oleshky which is cut off from food and water. They risked their lives to tell us their stories. Russia has banned foreign media from accessing the occupied territories of Ukraine. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c60q…

While there was no official US confirmation of military assistance to Ukraine, Zelenksy said afterwards that Trump had agreed to give Ukraine licences for domestic production of Patriot missiles. @BBCWorld bbc.com/news/articles/cj4k2z…

Roman Lavrynovych was jailed for 7 years while Stanislav Carpiuc, was sentenced to 2 years at the Old Bailey. The attacks were ordered on behalf of Russia, our investigation has revealed. Our final report on the case with @DdesimoneDaniel & Dan Sales bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgmd…

It looks as though Vladimir Putin may have ordered an arson attack against the British Prime Minister last year. That is an incredibly serious escalation and shows why we must redouble our efforts with Ukraine and the rest of Europe to resist and deter Putin’s aggression.

I find it flabbergasting that Russia ordered a sabotage operation against the British PM on UK soil and yet everyone seems to accept it's just business as usual. This behaviour is why it's essential to defeat Putin in Ukraine. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8r2…

This is a fascinating and detailed investigation into the arson attack on Keir Starmer’s house - for which two men with Ukrainian links were found guilty at the Old Bailey yesterday. It shows how the attacks were just one part of an extensive campaign of sabotage, provocation and lies leading all the way to the Russian state - which included attempts to divide British communities and smear the PM. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8r2…

Please do take the time to read this story. It is mind-blowing, important work by the BBC's excellent @BBC_Olga_M @DdesimoneDaniel and Tom Beal. It details how Russia, at the highest levels, is intent on sowing hatred and division in the UK, using "Tommy Robinson", among others.

“Even after he set fire to Sir Keir Starmer's house, Roman Lavrynovych - convicted on Monday of conspiring to commit arson - seemed to know as much about the prime minister as a bullet knows about its target.” @BBC_Olga_M and colleagues
Great reporting by @BBC_Olga_M and others about a Russian sabotage and disinfo campaign targeting the UK that aims, among other things, to widen splits in UK society. There still needs to be much more focus on explaining this threat to the UK public. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8r2…

Keir Starmer and I disagree on many things, but good people across the political spectrum will welcome today’s verdicts, condemn these appalling attacks which seem to have been sponsored by Russia, and wish the PM and his family well. Whatever our political differences, no one should face intimidation, threats or attacks because they hold public office. Democracy is settled at the ballot box, not through fear or violence and definitely not through foreign interference from hostile countries.

For Ukrainians, the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra is what St Paul's Cathedral is to Britain. Built in the 11th century, a century before Moscow, it is nearly a thousand y.o. and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tonight, Russia struck at the heart of a spiritual heritage it claims as its own

Putin’s response to Zelensky’s letter, the latest overnight strikes in #Ukraine and #Russia, and whether we are any closer to peace ahead of the Ukrainian president’s visit to the UK. Lovely to speak live with @BBCRadioWales Breakfast this morning. Listen on @BBCSounds Link👇

At least 18 lives – including 2 children – in my native Ukraine have been taken by Russia in the cities of Kyiv & Dnipro, local authorities confirm. For defence analysts, dropping bombs far from the front lines highlights Moscow’s lack of gains on the battlefield. 📸@EMaloletka
