In May, Ukraine saw the highest number of drone attacks since Russiaโs full-scale invasion.
Behind every strike are families forced into shelters, children living in fear, and communities struggling to recover.
The EU stands with Ukraine.

Another night of terror in Ukraine. Another reminder what Ukrainian families endure every single day.
Russia's massive attack last night killed at least 21 people, leaving around 120 people injured.
There must be accountability for these deaths under international law.

Not a day goes by without Russia violating International Humanitarian Law.
Yesterday, a Russian missile struck a clearly marked @WFP warehouse storing food for Ukrainians affected by the war. These supplies could have fed 130,000 people.
Humanitarian aid must be protected.
Absolutely unacceptable. This is what's left of our @WFP warehouse after a missile strike in Dnipro, Ukraineโand the remaining food stocks for 130K people on the frontlines of war and hunger.
These deliberate attacks MUST end. Aid workers and humanitarian assets are #NotATarget.

Russia is losing this war, but continues to terrorise Ukrainians.
Yesterdayโs brutal attack on Kyiv damaged homes, critical infrastructure, & humanitarian offices, injuring more than 80 people.
This is terror in its purest form. Those responsible must be held accountable.
