Ukraine is carrying a heavy burden on its shoulders for all of us.

Today, we disburse an additional €1.5 bn, under the €50 bn Ukraine Facility.

This is vital to keep Ukraine's state & services running, while it fights back the aggressor.

Europe remains united and resolute.

I strongly welcome the important decision taken by US Senate on the support package to Ukraine. We thank both Senate Republicans and Senate Democrats for bringing this through and above all we thank the American 🇺🇸 people for their strong support to Ukraine 🇺🇦 which have been indispensable.

I agree completely, dear Dmytro Kuleba

🇸🇪💙🇺🇦

Thank you Sen. Susan Collins and Senator Amy Klobuchar for great meetings today with 🇸🇪 Minister for Finance Elisabeth Svantesson about continued support to Ukraine.

It is horrendous to see Russia’s recent attacks against Ukrainian civilian & critical infrastructure. In Chernihiv yesterday, an attack by Russia killed at least 18 people & injured 77. Intentional attacks against civilians constitute war crimes. Russia will be held accountable.

Amidst #russia 's devastating war, we're working with partners to help those in need.

Today, we opened the 12th Survivors' Center in Sumy, a region enduring daily attacks that suffered significant destruction since the beginning of the full-scale war.

Grateful to UNFPA Ukraine

Sumy is now the 12th city in Ukraine where SRCs are working. Gratitude to Olga Stefanishyna for the initiative, our donors Austria in Ukraine, Belgium in Ukraine, AECID EmbajadaEspUcrania, Sweden in Ukraine for the support & posmishka.ua for helping to implement project. More:t.ly/rlN-P

We are opening the Survivor Relief Center in #Sumy to help people affected by war, including conflict-related sexual violence survivors. As a border region of Ukraine, Sumy has faced the devastating realities of war. Now, local residents & IDPs can receive vital support at SRC.

Sweden supports several projects through UNDP Ukraine 🇺🇦. Among other things: a new digital tool to help 🇺🇦 track, analyze and manage waste.

Sweden also contributes approx. EUR 36 million in core funding to @UNDP in 2024.
