Kenya is deeply concerned by Iran's attack on the State of Israel. This disturbing development only serves to aggravate an already delicate situation in the Middle East. The attack represents a real and present threat to international peace and security, contravenes the Charter…

On behalf of EU Member States, I condemn in the strongest terms the Iranian attacks against Israel and call on all parties to exercise utmost restraint.

I just spoke to Iran’s FM Abdollahian to convey these messages & urge Iran not to escalate further.

This extraordinary almost stellar image and the haunting sound of sirens over the beautiful Dome of the Rock marks a new era and a new moment in the history of Jerusalem, the Holy Land and the Middle East.

Food for thought. The challenges of quick staff turnover challenging institutional memory and the need for long-term approaches in conflict environments certainly ring a bell.

In his new blog post, HR/VP Josep Borrell Fontelles debunks the myths about the supposed resilience of the Russian economy to Western sanctions. If we continue to support it, Ukraine can prevail over a Russia that is already considerably weakened ➡️ europa.eu/!wBPxkN

A Ukrainian rescue worker crying, just after he found out his father was killed after the Shahed drone attack on Kharkiv.

This chills me to the bone.

It is often said that the Russian economy is not really suffering from Western sanctions and that time is on Russia's side in its war of aggression against Ukraine. It is simply not true. I explain why in my new blog post: europa.eu/!wBPxkN

A strike on Kharkiv, just an ordinary apartment building. With three Shaheds. A despicable and cynical attack, when the rescuers arrived at the scene of the strike, the terrorists attacked again.

As a result of the attack, 4 people were killed. Among them were our rescuers:…

Several Africans were injured in a Ukrainian drone attack on Tatarstan. Russia is now exploiting the attack to spark anti-Ukrainian feelings. If anything, however, this incident can elucidate a gendered and racialized reality behind Russia's charm offensive in Africa. 🧵
