Like others across Europe I am hugely alarmed 🇭🇺 authorities have declared @BudapestPride illegal. Implying that LGBT+ people are threat to children has no place in society. Last week I urged 🇭🇺 Dep Foreign Minister in person to allow Pride to go ahead, free of fear & sanction.

Today on #HolocaustMemorialDay, we remember the 6 million Jewish people and all those who lost their lives in the Holocaust. Their stories remind us why we must all stand against hatred and ensure such atrocities are never repeated. #NeverAgain

During the meeting with UK Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer, we discussed the implementation of the Victory Plan and support for our defense industry. An important element of the Victory Plan is providing Ukraine with long-range weaponry and granting permission to use it against military targets on Russian territory. I am grateful to Keir Starmer and the entire British people for standing with us during this challenging time. We take great pride in the strong bilateral relations between our nations.
