Time in Russian captivity works against human life. Over 96% of released Ukrainian prisoners of war and over 92% of released civilians report torture or other forms of ill-treatment.

Russia must be compelled to end its war – through effective sanctions, international pressure, and isolation from global platforms.

This week, the Embassy of Ukraine in the Kingdom of the Netherlands organised and hosted a visit to The Hague that brought two Ukrainian girls — returned from temporarily occupied territory — to the rooms where decisions are made.
They met with Members of the Dutch Parliament, with senior officials of the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and with the leadership of the ICC Trust Fund for Victims. They did not come as symbols. They came to speak, and to be heard where decisions are made.
They shared what happened to them — what it cost to be under Russian occupation, and what it took to come back. Choosing Ukraine, after everything, was not an abstraction. It was a decision made under pressure, against everything that was done to make them forget who they are. That choice deserves every institutional resource the international community can bring to bear. Because for every child who made it back, thousands are still waiting.
Over 20,000 Ukrainian children have been deported or forcibly displaced. 2,373 remain missing. These two are among the 2,535 who came home. Every meeting this week was a reminder of what that number means — and of how much work remains until every child can make the same choice.
This visit was made possible through the continued dedication of the Secretariat of the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights and the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation, whose Youth Chooses Ukraine programme supports children returning from occupation and deportation on their long road home.

For Ukrainians in captivity, Russia not only steals their time – for some, it has taken away their future forever. The deaths of at least 450 Ukrainian citizens in Russian captivity have been verified.

Time in Russian captivity is a weapon. Speak up and share verified information about Ukrainians held by Russia. Your voice can be their lifeline.

On September 8, Ambassador of Ukraine to the Kingdom of the Netherlands Andrii Kostin participated in the Ukraine Partnership Facility (UPF) Lead Partners event, bringing together Dutch companies and organisations implementing projects in Ukraine.
The Ambassador thanked the Government of the Netherlands, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and RVO for their continued support and for creating instruments such as UPF, which help turn Ukrainian-Dutch partnerships into concrete projects on the ground.
“Ukraine’s recovery is already happening today. Dutch companies working in Ukraine are not simply discussing reconstruction - they are already part of it,” Ambassador Kostin stressed.
The Dutch side highlighted the importance of close cooperation with Ukrainian partners and the exchange of practical experience, including the challenges encountered in implementing projects in Ukraine. The role of programmes such as UPF in supporting Dutch businesses and contributing to Ukraine’s recovery was also emphasised.
Ambassador Kostin underlined that cooperation with Ukraine is a long-term, win-win partnership. Dutch companies engaging today are building trusted partnerships and gaining valuable local knowledge and experience that will become even more important as Ukraine’s reconstruction accelerates.

Education is a basic right. Children should be able to go to school without fear, develop their skills and interests, meet their friends, and make plans for the future.

But for Ukrainian children, going to school has become a daily challenge because of Russia’s full-scale war.

On the International Day to Protect Education from Attack, we draw attention to the damage Russia’s aggression has caused to Ukraine’s education. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, 4,650 education facilities have been damaged by Russian attacks, and 423 have been completely destroyed.

The damage goes far beyond buildings – Russia’s war creates ongoing challenges for children’s access to education and their safety.

Russian terror against Ukrainian civilians must stop. The aggressor must be brought to justice.

On the morning of September 9, a Russian drone struck a residential high-rise in Kyiv, injuring four people.

Overnight, a Russian strike also hit the international border crossing in Odesa region, near Moldova, killing two people and injuring three more. Its operations have been suspended.

Russia also targeted Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Zhytomyr and Kyiv regions.

Moscow must not enter winter believing that its missile and drone terror will go unanswered. Ukraine’s partners know what Ukraine needs most. Thank you to those who support our country and our people.

For a Ukrainian in Russian captivity, every additional minute is not just lost time – it is another risk to suffer from violence. According to the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, over 96% of released prisoners of war report torture or inhumane treatment – a systematic, deliberate policy of Russia.

Speed of decisions matters: every delay is measured in human pain. We must work together to push for an immediate «all-for-all» prisoner exchange, expand and strictly enforce sanctions on Russia, and increase diplomatic pressure – because the longer this takes, the higher the human cost.

On September 7, at the invitation of the Dutch side, a Ukrainian delegation headed by the chairman of the Committee of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on Environmental Policy and Nature Management Oleh Bondarenko has arrived to the Netherlands. The delegation includes representatives of the Ministry of Economy and Environment of Ukraine, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, the State Agency of Water Resources of Ukraine, the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration, the Izmail District State Administration, and the State Scientific Institution “Institute for Environmental Restoration and Development of Ukraine.”
The main focus of the visit is water infrastructure, water management and nature-based solutions.
During the official introduction of the delegation, the Ambassador of Ukraine Andriy Kostin emphasised the importance of learning from the practical experience of the Netherlands, where water has played a vital role for centuries. The programme includes not only working meetings, but also visits to water infrastructure projects that have been successfully developed and implemented in the Netherlands.
An important objective is also to build new partnerships with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, private sector, international financial and knowledge institutions, as well as VNG and Cordaid, and to explore opportunities for future bilateral projects.
The Ambassador expressed his sincere appreciation to the Dutch side for its unwavering support and solidarity with Ukraine. Water management and water infrastructure are important areas of bilateral cooperation between Ukraine and the Netherlands, particularly in the context of Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction.

Today, a Russian attack drone hit the building of the We Are Ukraine TV channel in broad daylight – while journalists were live on air. At least five people have been injured. The building was partially destroyed.

Russia has taken its attacks on media to a new level, using “Shaheds” to target journalists while they were working. The world must not ignore this. Russian terror must be stopped through united international actions.
