The UK delegation to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) delivered a statement on 7 May 2026 condemning Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. The speech highlighted that the conflict is the deadliest on the continent since the Second World War and represents a direct assault on post‑war security principles such as sovereignty, territorial integrity and peaceful dispute resolution. The UK urged Russia to accept President Zelenskyy’s call for a ceasefire starting at midnight on 5 May and condemned Russia’s recent air attack that killed at least 17 civilians. The delegation called for Russia to demonstrate a commitment to peace by agreeing to a ceasefire and to respect international norms. The UK reaffirmed its support for Ukraine’s pursuit of a just and lasting peace.
