**UK’s Support for Ukraine in the Wake of Russia’s Invasion**

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Since Russia’s illegal and unjustified full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the UK has pledged to use this forum to support our Ukrainian friends and colleagues and to hold Russia to account for its actions. Indeed, at last week’s Ministerial Council, my Foreign Secretary said, that this organisation plays a key role in doing both of these. So, each week, we call out Russia’s complete disregard for the OSCE’s founding principles, as shown through its assault on Ukrainian territorial integrity and Ukrainian life.

Russia claims to defend the consensus principle. And yet it is all but isolated in this forum (and others) on a regular and sustained basis. We have seen the decision after decision subjected to attack through the need to find consensus. This is the abuse of a tool that was designed for use by participating States that shared a common wish to find solutions. That is clearly not the case now. So, we have to conclude that this insistence on consensus – against the overwhelming weight of opinion on many different subjects is not actually a defence of the principle but actually a defence of obstructionism.

Last week at the Ministerial Council, we saw the latest example of this dynamic. In Skopje, there was a broad consensus across the community in condemning Russia’s actions and underlining unwavering support to Ukraine. This was not a terrible conspiracy by the so-called ‘collective west’. It was a simple and widely expressed disapproval of what Russia has done by invading its neighbour and upending its commitments to the Helsinki principles.

The encouraging news is that the international community remains united behind Ukraine. On 23 February 2023, 141 UN members voted to demand that Russia withdraw its troops. 29 countries have now signed a Joint Declaration pledging to negotiate long-term security commitments with Ukraine, to help to sustain its ability to defend itself.

The UK is rolling out sanctions against Russia in lockstep with our partners. Alongside substantial packages of bilateral support for Ukraine, the international community has come together to provide humanitarian support to Ukraine through the international system response, coordinated by the UN, Red Cross movement and NGOs. This again underlines the unified response in support for Ukraine and brings Russia’s isolation into relief.

The UK and the international community stand against Russia’s aggression. The UK will continue to join the vast majority of states here in continuing to support Ukraine’s freedom and sovereignty. We will not be deterred or lose interest. Now is not the time to falter. Ukraine can and must win this war.

Mr. Chair, the UK will stand alongside Ukraine to protect its future. The UK will also continue to protect the OSCE, standing alongside participating States and colleagues to ensure that the consensus principle is not abused. Thank you.
