“Chornobyl” is the only correct spelling Ukraine asks the world to use.

Using Ukrainian transliterations respects Ukraine’s language and culture and moves away from Russian forms that were imposed by Russia during the Soviet era. It is also part of a wider effort to decolonise language and correct long-standing imbalances in global usage.

Using the correct transliteration for a place in Ukraine affirms recognition of Ukraine as a sovereign state – a fact Russia tries to deny.

We welcome the decision of states and international organisations to adopt the Ukrainian spelling of Chornobyl, including in the UN resolution of December 10, 2025.

Like Kyiv, Chornobyl reflects Ukrainian pronunciation and thus aligns with the global practice of updating place names for linguistic correctness. The successful shift from the Russian spelling “Kiev” to the Ukrainian “Kyiv” is a clear example of this trend.

All Ukrainian cities deserve to have their names rendered correctly.

The Chornobyl disaster was the result of a reactor experiment ordered by Moscow, in violation of safety protocols, and followed by lies and cover-ups. To this day, the world has to face consequences brought by a totalitarian system that subordinated truth and science to ideology and political power.

▪️ In total, 8.5 million people were exposed to radiation.
▪️ Over 145,000 square kilometres were contaminated, with radioactive traces recorded across several countries.
▪️ 10 kilometres around the plant will not be safe for 20,000 years.
▪️ Over 300,000 people were forced to leave their homes forever.
▪️ The disaster created costs that lasted for decades, from contaminated land to damaged infrastructure.

As Russia continues to threaten global nuclear security, the world must unite to prevent another disaster.

I had a good catch-up with President of Moldova @sandumaiamd in Antalya.

I briefed her on the situation on the battlefield, stressing that Ukraine is holding the line. In February, we liberated more territory than Russia occupied.

I also informed her about the consequences of Russia’s latest missile and drone attacks against Ukrainian cities, and thanked the President for her strong words of support and solidarity with Ukraine.

We discussed preparations for the upcoming Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe meeting in Chișinău on May 14–15, where further steps are expected toward establishing the Special Tribunal for the crime of aggression against Ukraine.

We also covered a broad range of important bilateral issues on our agenda.

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

Dear @MihaiPopsoi, thank you for your clear position and support. Continued solidarity and decisive international engagement remain crucial at this time. This is about restoring peace and ensuring justice.

[Mihai Popșoi @MihaiPopsoi]

We strongly condemn Russia’s latest wave of attacks on Ukraine, with drones and missiles striking civilians and causing tragic loss of life, including children. These atrocities must stop. Immediate action, tougher sanctions, and accountability are imperative.

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

Over the past day and night, Russia carried out a massive terrorist attack against Ukraine with almost 700 drones, dozens of ballistic and cruise missiles.

The attack primarily targeted civilians.

At least 4 people were killed in Kyiv, including a 12-year-old child, with over 50 more injured, 8 killed in Odesa, 3 killed and three dozen injured in Dnipro, 1 killed in Zaporizhzhia.

Such attacks cannot be normalised. These are war crimes that must be stopped and their perpetrators held to account.

We urge the international community to take immediate action.

All decisions required to increase pressure on the aggressor must be unblocked now. It is immoral, counterproductive, and dangerous to delay sanctions against Russia or packages of support for Ukraine.

Any day of further inaction on critical decisions sends wrong signals and encourages the aggressor to continue, prolong, and expand the war.

We reiterate our call for all states to join the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression Against Ukraine by notifying the Council of Europe of the intent to join its Enlarged Partial Agreement.

The most appropriate response to Russian terror is the inevitability of justice for the leadership of the Russian terrorist regime.

[MFA of Ukraine 🇺🇦 @MFA_Ukraine]

Since late January, the operations of Ukrainian defenders on the Oleksandrivsk direction have led to the de-occupation of 480 sq km of territory! This includes eight settlements in the Dnipro region and four in Zaporizhzhia region, where Ukrainian control has been restored 🇺🇦

Despite heavy losses in personnel and equipment, Russian forces continue attempts to push forward. In response, Ukrainian Defence Forces maintain steady pressure along the front. They actively defend positions, strike Russia’s targets, and continue to destroy Russian troops, weapons, and military equipment.

We thank every Ukrainian soldier for their bravery, professionalism, and determination to protect Ukraine!

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

At least 5 people were killed and 25 injured as a result of Russia’s missile strike on Dnipro.

A heinous terrorist attack on civilians in broad daylight.

Enough pauses in pressure on Russia! 20th EU sanctions package and €90 billion loan must be unblocked as soon as possible.

[Bring Kids Back UA @BringKidsBackUA]

In March 2026, Ukraine returned 47 children, bringing the total number of returned children to 2,083.

Key developments this month:

🔹 Panama joined the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children, bringing the total number of members to 47.

🔹 The @UN Commission of Inquiry concluded that Russia’s deportation and enforced disappearance of Ukrainian children constitute crimes against humanity.

🔹 A @HRL_YaleSPH report found that Gazprom and Rosneft funded re-education camps holding at least 2,158 Ukrainian children.

🔹 The United States allocated $25 million to support the return and rehabilitation of Ukrainian children.

🔹 A U.S. congressional hearing highlighted that at least 400,000 Ukrainian children have been integrated into Russian militarised structures.

🔹 Ukrainian prosecutors issued new war crimes charges over the deportation of 213 children from Donetsk region.

🔹 Russia continues indoctrination, identity erasure, and obstruction of the return of Ukrainian children.

Ukraine has documented at least 20,570 cases of deportation or forced transfer of children.

Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian children remain under Russian control.

There can be no just and lasting peace without their return.

Russia launched one of its most massive drone assaults against Ukraine to date, deploying nearly 1,000 strike UAVs over the course of a single day – from the evening of March 23 to the evening of March 24. Russia also deployed at least seven missiles.

In just nine daytime hours alone on March 24, Russia launched at least 556 drones, targeting multiple regions of Ukraine – from Chernihiv, Sumy, and Poltava regions to Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytskyi and Lviv. The aggressor state targeted Ukraine’s cultural heritage, energy infrastructure, our people, and even new life as maternity hospitals have come under Russia's attack. At least four people were killed, and at least 70 more were injured.

This is a deliberate campaign of terror. It demands immediate international pressure – strong enough to stop the aggressor.

[MFA of Ukraine 🇺🇦 @MFA_Ukraine]

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine strongly condemns another act of barbarism and a cultural crime committed by Russia against Ukraine – a deliberate drone attack on the central part of Lviv, which resulted in damage to UNESCO World Heritage sites within the Historic Centre of Lviv. As a result of drone strikes on civilian buildings in the city centre, people were injured.

This attack is not only a war crime against civilians, but also a direct assault on the cultural heritage of humanity, which is under international protection.

It was in Lviv that, with the support of international partners and UNESCO, the first UNESCO Cultural Hub in Ukraine was established. This centre was created specifically to protect, restore, and support Ukrainian culture in times of war.

By striking at the heart of Lviv, Russia has demonstrated its barbaric disregard for the efforts of the international community and UNESCO itself.

We emphasize that Russia continues to systematically violate the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict.

We call on UNESCO and all international partners not to limit their response to yet another expression of concern. An aggressor that deliberately destroys world heritage in a city hosting an official UNESCO Cultural Hub must be deprived of any influence within international institutions and face severe consequences.

Ukrainian diplomats are officially addressing the UNESCO Secretariat and the Member States of the World Heritage Committee, calling for the consequences of this attack to be documented and for additional cultural sanctions against Russia to be initiated.

We express our sincere condolences to the injured residents of Lviv and assure that every instance of destruction and damage to sites of global historical significance will be documented to ensure accountability of the aggressor state and those responsible in both national and international jurisdictions.

Four years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion.

Ukraine resists. Freedom endures.
Moldova will always stand with Ukraine - as long as it takes. 🇲🇩🇺🇦

[Mihai Popșoi @MihaiPopsoi]

Today marks four years since Russia launched its full-scale war against Ukraine, four years of violence, terror, and suffering inflicted on innocent people. This war must end. The aggressor must be held accountable, & justice must prevail. #StandWithUkraine

[Maia Sandu @sandumaiamd]

For four long years, Ukraine has defended not only its own freedom, but peace beyond its borders.

Thank you for keeping Russia away from our country — and for protecting Europe.

We stand with you — today and every day.

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

Four years ago, Russia launched its full-scale invasion to erase Ukraine from the map.

Four years later, Ukraine stands — stronger, battle-tested, and unbroken.

What Moscow called a “three-day operation” became four years of Ukrainian resistance — on the battlefield, in our cities, and across the diplomatic work.

Ukraine did not collapse. Ukraine did not surrender. Ukraine did not disappear.

Instead, Ukraine reshaped the global security debate. We proved that freedom is not rhetorical — it is defended.

We showed that international law is not abstract — it must be upheld.

Four years ago, the world faced a choice. Today, the choice remains the same — but it is clearer than ever.

Standing with Ukraine is not charity. It is an investment in a world where borders are not redrawn by force, where aggression has consequences, and where resilience prevails over terror.

Ukraine stands.

And as long as we stand, the principles of freedom and sovereignty stand with us.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today marks exactly four years since Putin started his three-day push to take Kyiv. And that says a great deal about our resistance, about how Ukraine has fought all this time. Behind those words stand millions of our people, immense courage, incredibly hard work, endurance, and the long path Ukraine has been pursuing since February 24.

Looking back at the beginning of the invasion and reflecting on today, we have every right to say: we have defended our independence, we have not lost our statehood; Putin has not achieved his goals. He has not broken Ukrainians; he has not won this war. We have preserved Ukraine, and we will do everything to secure peace and justice. Glory to Ukraine!

[MFA of Ukraine 🇺🇦 @MFA_Ukraine]

Today marks the fourth anniversary of Ukraine’s monumental resistance to Russia’s full-scale aggression.

The war continues for one reason only: Russia has not abandoned its imperial ambitions and continues to wage war and carry out terror against civilians. Our goal is to stop it.

We thank everyone who supports Ukraine and helps bring this war to an end.
