Seeing firsthand makes a difference. We bring donors closer to affected communities and humanitarian partners, highlighting urgent needs and the impact of humanitarian assistance. Field visits help ensure resources are directed where they can save the most lives. @Sida @SwedenUN

Behind every headline about Russia’s war on Ukraine, innocent lives are lost. Little Angelina was one of them. When I see her picture, I think of my own daughter.

Angelina’s story must serve as a wake-up call for Europe. We owe it to her and to every Ukrainian child. We can and must do more.

Amb Taalas on behalf of 🇩🇰🇫🇮🇮🇸🇳🇴🇸🇪 at #UNSC: Instead of engaging seriously in negotiations, Russia continues to attack civilians, destroy critical infrastructure & exploit persons in vulnerable situations. We call on Russia to engage in genuine talks & end its war of aggression.

We welcome the latest report of the Dag Hammarskjöld investigation.

Read it here: https://t.co/ZMdCbfX3ul

[Maria M Stenergard @MariaStenergard]

Sixty-five years ago, then UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold and his colleagues and crew tragically perished in a plane crash. As I underlined at the General Assembly in September, Sweden will continue to support the search for the truth about what happened. I welcome the latest report by Mr Mohamed Chande Othman, the independent investigator appointed by the UN. The relatives of the victims, the UN and its Member States, deserve to know what happened.

In the IAD with @BarhamSalih, 🇩🇰🇫🇮🇮🇸🇳🇴🇸🇪 reaffirmed support for UNHCR and its mandate. At a time of record displacement, protecting refugee frameworks and supporting the most vulnerable must remain a priority. We encourage broad support for the Nordic-facilitated UNHCR omnibus.

For millions of people in Ukraine, seeking safety is part of daily life.

@UNDP Goodwill Ambassador @nikolajcw visited them & spent a night in Kyiv’s metro alongside families forced to seek refuge from attacks.

[Maria M Stenergard @MariaStenergard]

I am horrified by last night's Russian strikes on several Ukrainian cities. In Zaporizhzhia, a school serving as a humanitarian aid distribution centre was hit, killing at least 29 people. In Kharkiv, a medical facility was struck. We condemn these attacks in the strongest terms.

Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the people of Ukraine. We remain committed to our two-point plan: more support for Ukraine and more pressure on Russia.

189 journalists were killed in 2024-2025, two-thirds in conflict zones. In 86% of cases, those responsible go unpunished.

On #IDEI2026, Sweden joins @MediaFreedomC in standing with journalists worldwide. Journalists must be protected and those responsible for crimes against them must be held accountable. Impunity must end.

Director General @suvanto_kaija, on behalf of the Nordic countries at #UNGA81:

As the International Court of Justice enters its ninth decade, its mission remains as vital today as it was in 1946: ensuring that disputes between States are settled through law rather than force.

[Finland's Mission to the UN 🇫🇮🇺🇳 @FinlandUN]

🇫🇮 Political State Secretary @PasiRayala on behalf of the Nordic countries:

True implementation of the Women, Peace and Security agenda is not only a question of equality, but of effectiveness and accountability. We must use our power and put in practice our plans for #WPS.

[Maria M Stenergard @MariaStenergard]

The UN Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine has concluded that Russian authorities have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity through its intentional attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

The Commission also found that Russia has trafficked foreign nationals from 29 countries to fight in their armed forces in Ukraine, in violation of international human rights law. Many were killed shortly after deployment.

These findings add to the mounting evidence of Russia's flagrant violations of international law. Impunity for international crimes is not an option. Russia must be held accountable.

[SwedenUN 🇸🇪 @SwedenUN]

Today, Sweden joined the #UNSC Presidency @GRUN_NY and a large group of Member States for a stakeout ahead of the annual #UNSC Open Debate on Women, Peace and Security (WPS).
