Oleshky’s 🇺🇦 civilians need food, water, medicine and safe passage.
Humanitarian aid must reach them. International humanitarian law must be respected.

On Defenders Day, we stand with Ukraine’s defenders.
🇺🇦 Through EU funding, the @RedCrossUkraine and Red Cross partners support veterans, their families and communities with mental health care, rehabilitation and socio-economic assistance.

How long will the terror continue?
For weeks, Russia has relentlessly attacked Kyiv. Yesterday, among the sites hit were a medical clinic and a building of the National Academy of Sciences.
Despicable, yet another failed attempt to break the 🇺🇦 spirit. This must be stopped.

Russia’s war has changed childhood for millions across Ukraine - but it must not define their future.
The EU provides healthcare, education, psychosocial care and support for families.
Because every child deserves the chance to recover, learn and dream beyond the war.

For six days in a row, Russia’s aerial attacks have been terrorising Kyiv.
Dozens of civilians killed or injured. Homes destroyed. Children returning to school today amid explosions.
This is terror against innocent civilians. Russia must be held accountable.

Behind every warehouse, every convoy, every delivery are people who choose to show up.
This year, dozens of these lifelines were destroyed across Ukraine. And still, they keep going.
The EU stands with every humanitarian worker who refuses to stop. 🇪🇺

Kyiv woke up to another deadly Russian attack. At least 16 killed and more than 40 injured.
Behind every number is a person, a grieving family, and a life changed forever.
This must stop. #IHL must be respected.
EU Humanitarian Aid | European Neighbourhood 🇪🇺 retweeted
Behind every death toll is a name. A nurse. A driver. A colleague who didn't come home.
On this #WorldHumanitarianDay, counting the dead is not enough.
We owe them justice, accountability, and an end to impunity for attacks on humanitarians.
EU Humanitarian Aid | European Neighbourhood 🇪🇺 retweeted
A medic. A driver. A logistician. A neighbour.
Different roles, one mission: keeping people alive.
On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we honour their courage and call for their protection. ❤️

Another night. More lives shattered. In Kyiv & the surrounding region, at least 17 civilians were killed in Russian attacks. More than 44 injured
Behind every number is a family, a future changed forever. We stand with the people of 🇺🇦 & demand accountability. IHL must be upheld

A huge thank you to the heroes without weapons – @SESU_UA rescuers who travelled to France to support the fight against the blaze. It makes me proud to see such #EUsolidarity in action. Ваша відвага, солідарність і професіоналізм є прикладом для всіх нас. 🇺🇦🇫🇷🇪🇺

🇺🇦🤝🇫🇷 @SESU_UA teams are supporting France in battling large-scale wildfires.
For the first time ever, Ukraine has deployed a team under the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism to assist an EU Member State.
🇪🇺 ❤️This is #EUsolidarity in action.
EU Humanitarian Aid | European Neighbourhood 🇪🇺 retweeted
For the first time ever, Ukraine is joining the 🇪🇺 Civil Protection Mechanism as a provider of assistance.
A 70-member Ukrainian firefighting team is on its way to France to help battle the wildfires.
While defending itself against Russia's war of aggression, Ukraine is also helping protect lives across Europe.
This is European solidarity.
Every day, Ukraine shows it belongs in our Union.

For the first time, Ukraine is deploying assistance to the EU through the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism to support France's response to devastating wildfires.

🇪🇺 Ambassador to Ukraine @kmathernova visited one of #Kharkiv's metro schools, where children can continue learning safely.
With support from the European Union, we work with local authorities to help ensure safe learning, catch-up classes & psychosocial support #ForEveryChild.

EU Ambassador to Ukraine @kmathernova visited the UNHCR-supported Transit Centre in Kharkiv, meeting evacuees from frontline areas. 🇪🇺🤝🇺🇦Thanks to the support of European Union UNHCR and partners continue to provide vital assistance to people forced to flee across Ukraine.

The UN reports that 1,396 civilians were killed in #Ukraine in the first half of 2026, a 37% increase from last year.
We must never lose sight of the people behind these figures.
Civilians must be protected and international humanitarian law must be respected.

Via the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism, 29M pairs of nitrile gloves from #rescEU were delivered to Ukraine.
Laid flat, that's 2.3 million m², which is enough to:
🚶 Create a glove path from Kyiv to Lviv
🏛️ Cover the floor area of 320 Eiffel Towers
29 million hands, kept safe. 🇺🇦

Our hearts are heavy as Kyiv mourns more civilian casualties from overnight Russian attacks.
At least 11 innocent people were killed & dozens more injured in their sleep.
We must remember the human cost behind numbers. #IHL exists to prevent such atrocities. It must be upheld.
EU Humanitarian Aid | European Neighbourhood 🇪🇺 retweeted
Russia's attack on the @RedCrossUkraine warehouse in Kyiv is among the most despicable acts of this war.
‼️ Some 320,000 units of life-saving supplies meant for people who have already lost so much have been reduced to ashes.
