Вишиваємо разом! "Вишивка єдності"🇺🇦
Хрестик за хрестиком, жовто-блакитними кольорами на полотні ми об'єднали всі наші спільні зусилля, любов, думки, молитви, націлені на перемогу України, висловили вдячність всім нашим Героям, які віддано захищають нашу країну.1/2
This was a horrific night in Kyiv. Over 20 ballistic missiles. At least 11 killed and dozens injured, including children.
Protect Ukrainian children from Russian ballistic terror! No task is more urgent. This is our main message to the NATO summit this week.
As world leaders are departing for Ankara, I wish they heard what families in Kyiv heard this night.
One of the most brutal attacks with dozens of ballistic missiles. A horrific cannonade of loud explosions one after another.
Russian terrorists struck sleeping civilians, targeting residential high-rises to maximize casualties.
In one of the districts, an entire killed family has been taken out of the rubble: mother, father, and child.
Rescue operations continue and sadly, the numbers are likely to grow.
Putin’s message to Ankara is simple: he is going to point ballistic missiles at sleeping children and continue the murder as long as he can.
What will the leaders of the Alliance respond?
This is not the time for weak steps anymore. They will only encourage Moscow to continue and expand terror beyond Ukraine.
The strongest outcome of the Ankara Summit is to increase Ukraine’s capabilities to protect our children from Russian ballistic terror. We need real steps.
PAC-3 missiles were created to serve the goal of protecting people from such barbarism.
There are thousands of them in storage around the world, kept for potential threats.
But the threats in Ukraine are not potential! Russian missiles are killing people every week.
Ukraine is currently the only country in the world facing ballistic attacks every single week. The means of protection from this terror need to be here.
And we need all decisions on air defense now, not later. Because for us, the time is measured in human lives.
On this International Day of Women in Diplomacy, we honour the leadership of Ukrainian women diplomats and extend our congratulations to women diplomats around the world, whose work continues to advance mutual understanding and peace.
On #WomenInDiplomacy Day, we honor 🇺🇦 women leading our resilience on the diplomatic stage. Proud to be part of this driving force behind our foreign policy. We will continue promoting gender equality. Grateful to outstanding women in @MFA_Ukraine team. Our super girls 💙💛
Today, the world marks the International Day of Women in Diplomacy.
Ukraine is among the countries that consistently advance the principles of equality in diplomatic service.
🔹 In 2018, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine became the first government institution in the country to join UN Women’s global #HeForShe movement.
🔹 At senior leadership level within the MFA headquarters, 73 women are employed, including 15 who serve as department directors and heads of divisions – accounting for 52% at this level.
🔹 28 female diplomats hold leadership positions in Ukraine’s foreign diplomatic missions, including 14 ambassadors.
🔹 Overall, women and men are represented in equal numbers within the MFA headquarters. In Ukraine’s foreign diplomatic missions, women make up 31% of staff.
🔹 The MFA team is also actively developing the Women’s Diplomatic Club – a community that brings together over 150 Ukrainian female diplomats.
The voice of Ukraine in the world is growing stronger thanks to women’s leadership. The initiatives of the First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, have become an important dimension of Ukrainian diplomacy, bringing together millions of people around cultural, educational, and humanitarian efforts.
The work of the Association of Spouses of Ukrainian Diplomats also contributes to Ukraine’s diplomatic efforts. Through international, social, and charitable initiatives, the Association supports Ukrainian communities in Ukraine and abroad, implements educational and cultural projects, and strengthens Ukraine’s voice on the global stage.
Strong diplomacy is impossible without equal opportunities for everyone who seeks to serve their country and make the world a better place.
🌼 The pin featuring two flowers of equal size was created as a symbol of equality in Ukrainian diplomacy. It represents partnership, mutual respect, and the firm belief that diplomacy becomes stronger when women’s participation grows.
To everyone desperately pushing Russian flags and anthems back into sports, giving Russia space on cultural platforms, selling components that later end up in Russian missiles and drones, and doing business as usual:
Did we all miss the moment the war supposedly ended? Or the moment Russia stopped killing Ukrainians?
As a result of Russia’s overnight attack against Ukraine, at least 100 people across Ukraine have been injured, and four killed. Kyiv was the main target, but strikes affected multiple locations across Ukraine.
Residential buildings, schools, civilian infrastructure, a market and a water supply facility were damaged.
In Kyiv alone, 78 people were injured and two killed. Search and rescue operations continue in the capital, where people may still remain under the rubble.
Russia continues to wage war not against military targets but against ordinary people. Deliberate attacks on civilians must not become normalised or go unanswered. Ukraine needs continued support and stronger pressure to stop Russia’s terror and bring a just peace closer.
Very timely EU Defence Technology Forum in Abu Dhabi organised by @EUintheUAE@BergerLucie right when there is such a pressing need and opportunity for defence cooperation between Europe and the Gulf. Ukraine, whose Ambassador @O_Balanutsa is here as well, has a key role to play.
Składam serdeczne życzenia wszystkim naszym Polskim przyjaciołom z okazji Święta Konstytucji Trzeciego Maja.
Konstytucja z 1791 roku stanowi ważny symbol modernizacji politycznej, dążenia do praworządności i odpowiedzialności państwa, jest świadectwem glebokich demokratycznych tradycji.
To święto przypomina o zasadach państwa wolności i prawa, które ukształtowały fundament współczesnych wartości europejskich, w obronie których dzisiaj wspólnie walczymy!
🇺🇦🤝🇵🇱
