This attack is another reminder of the brutal reality Ukrainians face daily.
Russia’s war continues to rain terror on civilians and infrastructure, in complete disregard of humanity and international law.

Our EU Delegation in #Kyiv was heavily damaged this morning when a Russian missile struck a neighbouring building.
The explosion shattered windows and caused a ceiling collapse.
All our staff are safe. 🇪🇺🇺🇦

Today is all about you, #aidworkers, who carry light into darkness.
You cross the frontlines with nothing but courage, tend to the wounded, feed the hungry, hold the forgotten.
In a world where the laws of war are broken, you represent our humanity.

Great exchange with @BillGates on pandemic preparedness, global health & gender equality. Scaling up & expanding our cooperation through Gates Foundation & EC HERA will help address future health threats. Women’s health is a joint priority, requiring targeted research & funding.

We cannot let these people down. They deserve rights, dignity, and the chance for a better life.
It’s our moral duty and in our own interests. When humanitarian aid is interrupted, the consequences can go far beyond: instability, migration and radicalisation.

Stories of people forced to flee their homes — stories of hope, resilience, and the search for a better future.
Each time, my heart was touched by their smile, their courage, their bravery. Each time, I wanted to do more to make a difference in their lives.

You can count on the EU to make the UN stronger & more efficient in a fast-changing world.
The UN system must step up on the nexus to support long-term resilience.

Killed for a crust of bread & a drop of water.
The 3rd deadly attack in days on starving people in #Gaza. Israel must allow full humanitarian access. Let UN partners with real expertise work. Impartially, independently, by humanitarian principles. A starving human is not a target.

Bringing all parts of the 🇸🇪 civil defence together shows everyone has a role to play.
Preparedness means collaboration: across municipalities, business, education, health, voluntary & defence organisations.
An enriching exchange on being ready for the full spectrum of risks.

At the MSB Crisis Centre, Sweden’s Civil Contingencies Agency coordinates resilience efforts with 60 agencies nationwide.
Great to hear about the strong coordination with the ERCC too.
Preparedness isn’t just a plan—it’s daily business for the whole society and government.

Spain plays a key role, hosting teams & rescEU Canadairs. This is European solidarity in action.
