Enough is enough. Time for a ceasefire now.
This week all UN Security Council members—except one—were united in calling for a full, immediate, and unconditional ceasefire. As did Ukraine.
Russia remains the only obstacle to peace. We urge it to abide by UNSC members' call. Now.

Environmental crimes & wildlife trafficking are an industrial-scale form of transnational organised crime linked w/drug trafficking & systemic corruption. Let's work together to enhance enforcement capacities & protect our global ecosystems & rule of law.

Russia’s hypocritical claims that it targets military objectives ring hollow.
It has struck WFP &UNHCR warehouses in Dnipro, killing humanitarian workers & destroying supplies for people on the frontline. Attacks against humanitarian personnel/civilians/infrastructure must stop!

IHL compliance is a non-negotiable obligation, & responsibility to protect civilians extends to all parties to a conflict. States, regional organizations, and civil society have critical roles in addressing protection risks reducing vulnerabilities.

Key takeaway from the #EU-@UNICEF discussion on #Venezuela: fragility doesn’t vanish overnight amid political transition. Children bear the brunt of crisis, yet humanitarian actors face shrinking resources. The 🇪🇺 remains committed to life-saving aid for the most vulnerable.

Nederland is medeoprichter van de EU. Europa zit dus in ons DNA.
Op Europadag laten we zien hoe ver we zijn gekomen: van een continent dat twee wereldoorlogen meemaakte, naar 27 landen die samenwerken aan vrijheid, veiligheid en welvaart.
Daar blijf ik mij volop voor inzetten.

Peacekeeping & peacebuilding are among the most effective multilateral tools for preventing & mitigating armed conflict, sustaining peace & responding to a range of threats.
🇪🇺EU Member States reliably contribute both personnel to @UNPeacekeeping & nearly 1/4 of the budget.

Ten years after UNSC Resolution 2286, attacks on healthcare in conflict are at record levels. Accountability is not optional, it is an obligation.
Through the Protect Aid Workers programme, the EU continues to protect healthcare in conflict.
