In 1938 Chamberlain gave Sudetenland to Hitler. We know what followed.
In 2025 who wants to give Donbass to Putin??

Yesterday, a humanitarian air bridge ✈️ carrying over 90 tonnes of medical supplies & shelter materials from our partners landed in Al Arish, Egypt.

This critical aid will support the people of #Gaza, reaffirming our steadfast commitment to assisting civilians in need of help.

NO.
MEANS.
NO.

This year, the EU’s first legislation to combat violence against women entered into force, criminalizing physical, psychological, economic, and sexual violence—offline and online.

We will continue to do everything possible to protect victims and punish offenders

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

In humanitarian crises, women and girls are disproportionately affected by violence.

We remain committed to preventing and responding to gender-based violence in vulnerable communities worldwide.

There is #NoExcuse for gender-based violence.

1000 days of brutal Russian aggression on #Ukraine.

1000 days of brave Ukrainian resistance.

1000 days of EU standing in solidarity with the people of Ukraine; and we will continue to do so as long as it takes.

For just and lasting peace.

[Janez Lenarčič @JanezLenarcic]

I strongly condemn the recent attack by armed assailants on an @MSF ambulance in Port-au-Prince. Medical facilities and staff are #NotaTarget and such attacks must end. I call on the Haitian authorities and all stakeholders to ensure people’s right to medical care.

The announcement on extending the opening of the Adré crossing point is a welcome step in boosting the delivery of critical humanitarian aid to #Sudan. Yet it is not enough.

I reiterate my call for the permanent opening of Adré – crucial for civilians caught in the conflict!

[Janez Lenarčič @JanezLenarcic]

Today, we mourn the tragedy in 🇪🇸 and stand in solidarity with its victims.

Assistance from EU MS continues to be channeled to floods-affected areas via #EUCivilProtectionMechanism.

But we must also look to the future and ensure that 🇪🇺 is prepared for this age of disasters.

[Janez Lenarčič @JanezLenarcic]

We are fully committed to supporting #Spain in the aftermath of devastating #floods.

Thank you 🇫🇷 and 🇵🇹 for the swift and effective assistance via the #EUCivilProtectionMechanism with waste management and recovery, along with offers from other EU MS. 👇
