1000 days of brutal Russian aggression on #Ukraine. 1000 days of brave Ukrainian resistance. 1000 days of EU standing in solidarity with the people of Ukraine; and we will continue to do so as long as it takes. For just and lasting peace.

I strongly condemn the recent attack by armed assailants on an @MSF ambulance in Port-au-Prince. Medical facilities and staff are #NotaTarget and such attacks must end. I call on the Haitian authorities and all stakeholders to ensure people’s right to medical care.

The announcement on extending the opening of the Adré crossing point is a welcome step in boosting the delivery of critical humanitarian aid to #Sudan. Yet it is not enough. I reiterate my call for the permanent opening of Adré – crucial for civilians caught in the conflict!.

Today, we mourn the tragedy in 🇪🇸 and stand in solidarity with its victims. Assistance from EU MS continues to be channeled to floods-affected areas via #EUCivilProtectionMechanism. But we must also look to the future and ensure that 🇪🇺 is prepared for this age of disasters.

I am deeply shocked by the horrendous abuses committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) against the civilian population of #Sudan’s Al Gezira State. International Humanitarian Law must be respected, and the authors of these crimes must be brought to justice.
