“We have no tomorrow – there is only today.”

For Andrii Lobanov from Zaporizhzhia Perinatal Centre these words define life on the frontline. Every baby in his care depends on electricity to survive. Just minutes without power can cost a fragile life. 🔗 https://t.co/ahtSWvAhKA

On the occasion of #Norway’s Constitution Day, read how solar power stations installed by @UNDP with support from @NorwayMFA are helping doctors keep life-saving equipment running for Ukraine’s smallest patients. 🇳🇴🇺🇦

On #IMAD2026, launched #SoulOfSoil: Dishes from Demined Fields in Kyiv — joint effort by @UNDP, @mineconomdev, @FAOUkraine, @Demine_Ukraine, @NLinUkraine and other partners — highlighting impact of demining on people's lives.

Participants joined a sourdough bread baking masterclass, using flour produced on demined land in Sumy Oblast.

For Ukrainians, bread is more than food. It is a symbol woven into daily life and traditions.

Baked by Ukrainian chef Denis Komarenko as part of @UNDP-supported #SoulofSoil initiative, this bread is made from special flour. It comes from grain harvested on demined fields in Sumy Oblast, symbolizing recovery, resilience, & hope for the future. 🌾 https://t.co/9OOBXY5ayB

As we mark International Women’s Day #IWD2026, let's remember the strength, leadership and resilience of women across Ukraine.

In his video address, @Chris_Politis, Deputy Resident Representative @UNDPUkraine, underscores the importance of respect, dignity, and equal voice, noting:

"Ukraine’s recovery will be stronger only when women are not just the backbone of survival — but equal leaders in rebuilding this country."

73 students have returned to the renovated Kyiv Oblast Gymnasium, now offering a safe, inclusive and energy-efficient learning environment. Extensive repair work in the war-damaged school was supported by 🇪🇸@AECID_es, 🇺🇦@MinForUADev and 🇺🇳@UNDP. 🔗 https://t.co/YUojYenovk

Families across Ukraine have endured weeks of freezing homes — sometimes just 2°C indoors — as every major power plant has been hit since 2022.

With all this equipment arriving, why is the connection to the grid not happening faster?

As UNDP’s @AukeLootsma explains for @NewVoiceUkraine, Ukraine is racing to transform an inherited, old‑style centralized energy system into a modern, flexible, green grid — all while under fire.
