Not forgetting Ukrainian civilians this Easter under increased attacks. Thinking of colleagues and friends in Ukraine, and all those affected by conflict. Wishing you strength, hope, and moments of peace in the days ahead 💙💛

[United Nations @UN]

Over four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, civilians continue to pay the highest price.

Millions of people inside the country need humanitarian assistance.

Here’s what our @refugees colleagues are doing to help: https://t.co/v066aa3VSS

[ICRC Ukraine @ICRC_ua]

What is the impact for civilians when armed conflicts are waged in cities?

Critical infrastructure damage, hospitals unable to function, people not knowing what the next day will bring.

This is not life – it is survival.

I hear you.
From one nurse to another, your voice matters.
Sharing in solidarity with nurses working in all conflict zones.

There is no good in this world if we continue to die of hunger, cold, and pain in Gaza 💔
If you see me...
If you hear my voice...

Please don't let it go to waste.

Share this.

A sobering reflection.

The full-scale war against Ukraine, which escalated in 2022, has now continued longer than the Eastern Front offensive of the Second World War (1941–1945).

Prolonged war carries cumulative human, health, and societal consequences that extend far beyond the battlefield. Remembering this duration matters.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Right now, Russian losses amount to no less than 1,000 killed per day – and this has been the case since December.

This is how Russia is essentially paying just to keep the war from ending. This is madness and it can only be stopped by combined forces – the forces of Europe and the United States, the forces of all our partners.

Every day of this war is a reminder that the world cannot protect itself from madmen. We must protect it. Russia must be stopped.

Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine! Thank you to everyone who helps our people, our defense, and our recovery! Glory to Ukraine!

@RedCrossUkraine The speed and coordination shown by volunteers and emergency services after overnight attacks is critical for affected communities. My condolences to those killed and injured. Protecting civilians and those providing aid must remain a priority. 💙💛 #NotATarget

[steffi Ward 🌻🏥🔍 @ward_steffi]

@RedCrossUkraine This is vital work. The speed and care shown by volunteers and first responders after night-time attacks makes a real difference for families and communities facing shock and loss. 💙💛

[steffi Ward 🌻🏥🔍 @ward_steffi]

@RedCrossUkraine @roteskreuzat Mobile health units are a lifeline for people in remote and frontline areas, easing pressure on clinics and supporting the most vulnerable. Thank you for highlighting this essential work.💙💛

[steffi Ward 🌻🏥🔍 @ward_steffi]

Thank you for highlighting these critical humanitarian efforts. Continued support for civilians through winter, heating and essential services is vital. The resilience and dedication of healthcare workers and humanitarian partners on the ground make a real difference for people across Ukraine. #NotATarget #Ukraine 💙💛

[steffi Ward 🌻🏥🔍 @ward_steffi]

@OCHA_Ukraine Thank you for raising awareness of the continued attacks on healthcare facilities and the immense pressure faced by health workers operating under these conditions. Protecting healthcare and those who provide it remains essential for civilians across Ukraine. #NotATarget 💙💛

@RedCrossUkraine Important to see the work of healthcare staff, volunteers, and responders recognised in this way. Nurses and other health professionals continue to sustain care for communities under extraordinary conditions during the Ukraine conflict. 💙💛
