Pleasure to open @ants_ngo forum together w/ @CanEmbUkraine moderated by @HannaHopko. 🇺🇦 has shown remarkable democratic resilience in wartime. As we look ahead, inclusion of the whole democratic society will be key—not only in rebuilding 🇺🇦 but also on the path to 🇪🇺.

The EU contributes w/ €12M as part of €52M package to help implement nationwide 112 emergency call system. This will unify ambulance, police, fire, and gas services under one number—ensuring faster, more coordinated responses, especially during the war.
🇪🇺🇺🇦 Swift access to immediate emergency assistance is crucial everywhere and critical in Ukraine. Proud to visit the 112 data centre in Kyiv with Minister Klymenko. @EIB financing will help roll out the EU unified emergency number nationwide. #StandWithUkraine

🇷🇺 attacked again—this time, 🇺🇦Izyum. A missile hit city council & residential buildings, killing 5 & injuring over 30. Rescuers are still at work. My condolences to families and loved ones of the victims. 🇷🇺 must be held accountable for its terror. Justice must come.
Izyum. The rescue operation continues after a Russian missile strike on the city. This attack destroyed part of the city council building. As of now, we know there are casualties – twenty people have been injured. Tragically, five people have died. My condolences to the families and loved ones. This brutality cannot be tolerated. Maximum pressure must be applied to Russia – through military force, sanctions, and diplomacy – to stop the terror and protect lives.

Odesa and Poltava - just some names on long list of continuing Russian attacks. With missiles, drones, glide bombs. In Odesa they struck UNESCO protected center w/Bristol hotel where I stayed during each visit. This terror of civilians must stop.
Every day, Russia attacks Ukraine with drones, missiles, and aerial bombs. This week alone, there have been hundreds of strikes on our cities and communities – nearly 50 missiles, around 660 attack drones, and more than 760 guided aerial bombs launched by the enemy against our people. Russia will not stop on its own. The world must force it to end this brutal and unprovoked aggression. Strengthening our defense is absolutely necessary. We need better protection – air defense systems, long-range weapons, and sanctions pressure. All of this helps save lives here in Ukraine. I thank everyone around the world who understands the importance of this, continues to believe in our country and supports us.

Heartbroken by another ballistic strike on Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia—innocent lives lost, many wounded. My deepest condolences to the families. The international community must act decisively to weaken 🇷🇺’s ability to sow death and destruction.
In the early hours of the morning, the enemy launched a ballistic strike on the center of Kyiv. The area was affected by falling debris. Three people are confirmed dead, and three others were wounded. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Residential buildings, a metro station, shops, cafes, and other civilian infrastructure have been damaged. All services are continuing their efforts to mitigate the aftermath of the shelling. Zaporizhzhia was also attacked. Ten people have been reported wounded, and others may still be trapped under the rubble. Infrastructure has been destroyed, many people's homes and shops have been damaged. The rescue operation is ongoing. All those who assist the Russian state in this war must face pressure as impactful as these strikes. We can achieve this only through unity with the entire world.
