On June 23, a Russian missile struck civilian infrastructure in Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro region, killing three civilians and injuring more than 20 others. Three of the wounded are in critical condition.

Russia continues its terror against ordinary people. Every delay in strengthening Ukraine’s air defence capabilities comes at a human cost.

The world must not remain silent about the fact that Russia continues to reject any meaningful path to peace. Ukraine has repeatedly proposed practical steps towards ending the war, yet has received no clear response from Moscow. That is why stronger pressure on Russia is needed now.

🇺🇦 On this Father’s Day, our thoughts are with all Ukrainian fathers. Many of them are spending this day far from home. Ukrainian defenders on the front line, protecting their loved ones. Those who are in Russian captivity, as well as civilians taken captive by Russia and separated from their families.

Yet fatherhood never stops. It lives through every Ukrainian father each day – through responsibility, protection, and a connection that remains even across distance.

Today, we want to say thank you to all Ukrainian fathers – for what they carry, and for what they continue to give, even in the hardest of times.

We honour the fathers whose lives were taken by Russia’s war of aggression, and the families who mark this day without them.

Three years ago, on June 6, 2023, russia destroyed the dam of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant, causing one of the largest environmental disasters in Europe in recent decades.

More than 11,000 cases of environmental damage caused by Russia's aggression against Ukraine have now been documented, with recorded losses exceeding UAH 6.7 trillion. Yet documenting these crimes is only the first step. Accountability must follow.

On 24 June 2026, we invite you to join the international discussion "Environmental Harm During Armed Conflict: Accountability, Investigations and International Cooperation" in The Hague, organized by the Embassy of Ukraine in the Kingdom of the Netherlands together with UAnimals, Climate Counsel, IDLO, and UCLA's Promise Institute for Human Rights Europe.

The event will bring together Ukrainian prosecutors, investigators from the Security Service of Ukraine, representatives of the International Criminal Court (ICC), diplomats, academics, and human rights advocates.

🌍 The Kakhovka HPP case and the challenges of investigating environmental crimes during war

📖 Presentation of the Manual on Prosecuting International Environmental Crimes, developed from Ukraine's experience documenting environmental harm

⚖️ International legal pathways to accountability, reparations, and justice for environmental destruction

As environmental damage increasingly becomes a weapon of war, the international community must strengthen legal mechanisms to address and prosecute such crimes.

The world must recognize ecocide as a crime and create a legal precedent that protects nature for future generations.

6 people were killed and more than 20 injured as a result of Russia’s latest attacks against Ukraine.

In Zaporizhzhia, a Russian strike caused a fire at a petrol station, setting a building and equipment ablaze. Two people were injured.

In the Kharkiv region, Russian air attacks damaged a warehouse facility, residential buildings, and vehicles. Ten people were injured, including four children. One person was killed.

In the Dnipro region, private homes, a post office, and vehicles were damaged. An 8-year-old girl was killed in Russia’s attack on Pavlohrad. One more person was injured.

In the Odesa region, Russian strikes set two fuel tankers and one gas tanker on fire. Firefighting efforts were complicated by repeated air raid alerts. One person was killed and four others were injured.

In Kramatorsk, Donetsk region, Russia killed three people. At least six more were injured.

Russia has no intention of stopping. Through its continuous and deliberate attacks against the Ukrainian people, it demonstrates that it will not end its terror on its own. Stronger sanctions against the aggressor state are needed – without exceptions. Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against aerial terror must be enhanced. Strengthening Ukraine’s air defence remains critical to saving lives.

🇺🇦🇳🇱 On June 17, Ukraine’s Minister of Defence, Mykhailo Fedorov, paid a working visit to the Netherlands, delivering significant results for Ukraine’s defense capabilities and technological cooperation.

During meetings with Prime Minister of the Netherlands Rob Jetten and Minister of defence of the Netherlands Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius, discussions focused on advancing bilateral strategic defence cooperation, including expanding support for Ukraine’s Drone Line initiative.

A major milestone was reached with the signing of a new letter of intent on Ukrainian–Dutch defense innovation and industrial cooperation, creating a framework for joint development of next-generation defense technologies and strengthening long-term strategic cooperation.

The Netherlands announced: 🔹 €250 million in additional funding to expand Ukraine’s drone capabilities 🔹 €250 million for the PURL mechanism, including procurement of the Patriot missiles and other critical air-defense systems.

Minister Fedorov also met with the members of the Dutch Parliament to express gratitude for their steadfast support, including crucial defense assistance and backing for Ukraine’s F-16 fleet. He presented Ukraine’s Air-Land-Economy Strategy, emphasizing that as Ukraine regains the initiative on the battlefield, the coming months offer a critical opportunity to increase pressure on Russia.

During the visit, Minister Fedorov also visited two organizations that are helping strengthen Ukraine’s defense capabilities. Together with the Dutch Minister of Defence Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius, he toured the facilities of Destinus, which empowers Ukrainian defence and middle-strike capabilities. He also visited the TNO research center alongside State Secretary for Defence Derk Boswijk. TNO is already collaborating with Ukraine’s BRAVE1 Innovation Cluster on the development of next-generation unmanned systems, advanced sensors, and other critical defense technologies.

The Netherlands continues to demonstrate leadership in supporting Ukraine’s defense, innovation, and long-term security.

The Embassy of Ukraine was pleased to take part in the ceremony marking the transfer of generators to Ukraine within the framework of the “Warmth from Ukraine” initiative of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
The funds for generators were donated by the Association of Dutch municipalities and Gemeente Rotterdam . Their support comes at a particularly important time, as Russia continues its attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
These generators will help Ukrainian communities maintain essential services and provide much needed warmth and electricity to people affected by the war.
We sincerely thank all Dutch municipalities and everyone involved in this initiative for their solidarity with Ukraine. Your support helps our people get through another difficult period and demonstrates once again the strong partnership between Ukraine and the Netherlands.
Special thanks to the Municipality of Rotterdam, VNG, VNG International and VNG Fonds for being part of this important effort.
Thank you for standing with Ukraine.

Russia launched its full-scale invasion believing Ukraine would be defeated in days. Instead, Ukraine has held the line and grown stronger – while Russia has paid an enormous price in manpower, equipment, and international isolation.

The toll of Russia’s war is proof that its aggression does not come without consequences.

Today, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy took part in the G7–Ukraine meeting, discussing next steps to support Ukraine with the leaders of France, the UK, Italy, Canada, Germany, the USA, Japan, the European Council, and the European Commission.

As Russia continues its attacks, it is essential that we sustain and scale up our support – from providing more air defence missiles and licences to produce them, to helping Ukraine get through another winter and increasing pressure on Russia.

The world must ensure Russia never succeeds in normalising its war against Ukraine.

🌷 Every spring, thousands of Dutch tulips bloom across Ukrainian parks, squares, and public spaces, bringing colour and serving as a reminder of the friendship between our two countries.

The tradition began in 2021, when the Netherlands gifted Kyiv 100,000 tulip bulbs. This spring, more than 150,000 tulips blossomed in Ukraine’s capital. If planted in one location, they would cover an area roughly the size of two Olympic-sized swimming pools.

A similar tulip project has also brightened Lviv, where Dutch-donated flowers have become a symbol of solidarity and the continuation of life even in difficult times.

Oleksandr Korniyenko briefed his Dutch counterparts on the current security situation and the challenges requiring urgent solutions, particularly the need to strengthen protection against Russian missile attacks.
The sides also discussed the return of civilians held in Russian captivity. This issue requires greater attention from the international community.

Special attention was given to Ukraine’s European integration. Ukraine expects the opening of the first negotiation cluster as part of the EU accession process.

Oleksandr Korniyenko also joined Minister of Justice and Security David van Weel on the panel “The Next Frontier: AI-Driven Defense Solutions” on the sidelines of Liberal Partnership Days 2026. He highlighted Ukraine’s cutting-edge experience in developing AI-driven defence capabilities.
