At today's UNSC meeting, the 🇪🇺EU called on Russia to end attacks on 🇺🇦civilians, agree to an immediate ceasefire & engage seriously in peace efforts. Concrete humanitarian steps can pave the way towards a just & lasting peace, grounded in the UN Charter.

Over 20,500 children have been illegally deported from occupied areas of Ukraine to Russia.

The treatment of Ukraine’s children over the last four years is the clearest example of Russia’s total disregard for life.

Russia can only run its horrific system of child deportation, indoctrination and illegal adoption thanks to a network of people and entities.

The EU has sanctioned those responsible and will keep working to bring Ukrainian kids home.

[Kajsa Ollongren @EEAS_SecGen]

The @EUCouncil approved conclusions on EU humanitarian action in a shifting global order following the joint communication by the @EU_Commission and HR/VP @kajakallas.

They reaffirm the commitment of the EU to remain a reliable and predictable humanitarian donor at a time of growing needs and severe pressure on global humanitarian funding.

An explosion shatters windows and tears through a roof. With winter approaching, protecting what remains becomes urgent.🇺🇦

With 🇪🇺 support, @UNHCR & partners are delivering materials to repair broken windows and roofs across Ukraine.

Helping families face winter with dignity.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

This summer was the summer of truth all around the world.

From natural disasters erupting everywhere.

To the heavy cost of fossil fuel dependence on livelihoods.

But the future is still ours to decide.

And Europe will work with all its partners to tip the scales in our favour.

[Mandeep O’Brien @MandeepOBrien]

Sometimes it’s not one crisis that’s overlooked, but an entire sector. With @EUatUN, our Children in Crisis series turned to education in emergencies.

Education is lifesaving. Our collective response, including through pooled funds, must reflect that.

[🇪🇺EU at UN-NY @EUatUN]

The 🇪🇺EU regrets Russia’s veto blocking #MINURSO’s renewal, risking regional stability. We support a UN-led political solution for Western Sahara, based on Morocco’s Autonomy Proposal, providing for self-determination, in line with UNSC Resolution 2797.

Myanmar may have disappeared from the headlines, but the crisis is far from over.

Hear from @MPopowskiEU as he meets people affected by conflict and displacement and sees the situation on the ground.

[EU Council @EUCouncil]

The EU has trained 100 000 Ukrainian soldiers through its military assistance mission.

This is a major achievement, reflecting the EU's unwavering support for Ukraine in the face of Russia's war of aggression.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 We stand with Ukraine.

[🇪🇺EU at UN-NY @EUatUN]

From Mexico to Afghanistan, from Fiji to Mauritania: great to welcome UN Resident Coordinators from across the world 🌍to discuss how the EU & UN can work better together on the ground.

The EU remains the biggest supporter of the RC system. Thanks for your hard work!

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

We already have a European security architecture in place.

This includes international agreements under which Russia has undertaken obligations, including with regard to sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The problem is that Russia is not respecting these agreements.

All our focus should be on ensuring that Russia actually fulfils the obligations it has already undertaken.

My press remarks at the @G7 Foreign Ministers' meeting ↓

[EU Civil Protection & Humanitarian Aid 🇪🇺 @eu_echo]

Heavy rains and flooding are putting lives at risk in Gaza’s displacement camps. With 1.4 million people still in makeshift shelters, urgent action is needed.

Lift restrictions on aid. Increase humanitarian access and funding.

More aid. More access. Now.

[António Costa @eucopresident]

Excellent discussion today with the researchers behind the report “A Transformative AI Strategy for Europe”.

Europe must use AI to reinforce its competitiveness and sovereignty, while keeping the technology safe and under human control.

This week at the informal #EUCO in Dublin, Leaders will have a strategic discussion on AI.

[🇪🇺EU at UN-NY @EUatUN]

Education is more than learning. It provides safety, stability & hope for children affected by conflict & displacement.

At the EU–@UNICEF discussion, 🇪🇺Amb @HeddaSamson called for stronger links between education & child protection, sustained funding & learning continuity.

[Hadja Lahbib @hadjalahbib]

Europe stays a reliable donor. Europe stands by humanitarian principles. And by the aid workers who risk their lives to uphold them.

Thank you to the @EUCouncil and the @Ireland2026eu for these strong conclusions on EU humanitarian action.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

We need to operationalise the Black Sea Maritime Security Hub.

I know Romania and Bulgaria are working hard to achieve this.

This is why we have agreed here today and with the Bulgarian government to fast track the work and set a clear timeline.

And back it with €50 million in funding.

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

Today, we celebrate Marie Skłodowska-Curie's birthday and her remarkable achievements: the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first scientist to win it in two different categories, and the only laureate in two scientific fields.

Her name lives on through the EU's Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, supporting researchers across Europe and beyond, helping advance scientific discovery.

👏 Here's to Marie and the next generation of scientific pioneers!

[Hadja Lahbib @hadjalahbib]

The fighting in Yemen has forced thousands of people to seek safety in Djibouti.

We have launched our EU Humanitarian Air Bridge to send urgent aid to the people affected by this crisis.
This week we delivered hygiene kits, water purification tablets, solar lamps, and more.

[Hadja Lahbib @hadjalahbib]

2 billion people live in places shaken by conflict & crisis. One in four of us.

A massive humanitarian challenge. And a huge untapped economic frontier. Local businesses create jobs. A steady wage means less reliance on aid.

That’s why we are launching #InvestFrontier with @wef

[Jozef Síkela @JozefSikela]

The strongest currency in today's uncertain world is reliability.

Europe has learned the hard way that dependencies can become vulnerabilities, disrupting supplies, driving up prices and putting jobs at risk.
