Another night of terror. Nearly 400 missiles and drones launched at Ukraine. Kyiv was the main target. Homes, lives, and sleep deliberately attacked. This is not “war fatigue,” this is Russia’s choice: mass terror, lies, and destruction.

Thank you to the Albanese Gov for this new package of energy assistance 🇦🇺🇺🇦

Many thanks to Oleksandra Oliynykova for using her voice at the Australian Open to make this important statement. Russian and Belarusian athletes should not be allowed to compete in reputable international competitions while Russia continues to kill Ukrainians and leave them freezing to death. 🎾

Oliyniykova pulled on a white T-shirt after her loss to Keys that read: “I need your help to protect Ukrainian children and women but I can’t talk about it here.”

I met today with Matt Thistlethwaite MP, Assistant Foreign Minister, to raise the urgent need for energy assistance for Ukraine as Russia continues its attacks on critical infrastructure, leaving millions without heat and electricity during winter.

It was a pleasure to welcome Francis Farrell and Toma Istomina from the @kyivindependent.com at the Embassy today. Great to exchange views and discuss the vital role independent journalism plays in telling Ukraine’s story to the world.

For Australians and New Zealanders, it’s hard to imagine what winter darkness truly means, not just the season, but the cold and blackouts imposed by war.
