I was pleased to welcome @Tim_Lardner, @UNOPS Regional Director for Europe and Central Asia, to Kyiv.
I thanked UNOPS for its practical support to Ukraine, including assistance in strengthening energy resilience, humanitarian demining efforts, supporting schools and healthcare facilities, and helping communities recover from the devastating consequences of Russia’s aggression.
We also exchanged views on how to further scale up our cooperation to support Ukraine’s long-term recovery that improve the lives of people and strengthen the resilience of our communities. We appreciate UNOPS’ readiness to further expand its engagement in line with Ukraine’s recovery and development priorities.
We also signed a Memorandum of Understanding between @MFA_Ukraine and UNOPS to strengthen our partnership and advance joint recovery initiatives.
In #Ukraine's Mykolaiv Region, a new shelter at Kalynivka Lyceum means children can continue attending school – even as the conflict rages on.

🔈 @UNOPS_Chief on plans to facilitate the movement of goods for humanitarian purposes through the Strait of Hormuz:
"The UN Secretary General @antonioguterres announced today the creation of a Task Force which I am very honoured to coordinate. It is for the development of a Mechanism to have safe, orderly, and predictable maritime transit for humanitarian purposes through the Strait of Hormuz.
This Task Force includes UNOPS, @UNCTAD, @IMOHQ and @iccwbo, with cooperation of other @UN agencies.
The disruptions in maritime trade through the Strait of Hormuz risk creating ripple effects impacting humanitarian needs and agricultural production in the coming months.
Our focus is to facilitate the trade of commercial fertilizers and the movement of related raw materials. We are standing by to support this lifesaving operation.
It is urgent to prevent a massive humanitarian crisis in the Middle East and beyond including in Africa and Asia import-dependent on fertilizers."
