Did you know Ukraine was one of the founding members of the United Nations in 1945?

For eight decades, Ukraine has contributed to the UN’s work across human rights, the rule of law, sustainable development, and, above all, peace and security.

Today, Ukraine continues to defend the principles on which the organisation was built and work towards a just and lasting peace.

If Russians are cheering yesterday’s decisions in the US, it is certainly not about effective pressure to end the war, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stressed in response to the recent decision on the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act.

The Minister underlined that indecisiveness sends the wrong signal to the aggressor and only prolongs the war, adding that Lindsey Graham understood this well.

💬 “One lesson on dealing with Russia should have been clear long ago: any meaningful conversation with the Russians begins with real pressure and strength. They will ignore any calls for peace paired with indecisiveness. They do not respect threats of pressure or delayed decisions. They simply don’t take them seriously,” Andrii Sybiha noted.

Ukraine marks the 90th anniversary of the birth of Ivan Drach today, one of Ukraine’s most distinctive poets, screenwriters, playwrights and public figures.

He belonged to the generation of writers and artists who challenged Soviet cultural conventions, helping reshape Ukrainian literature through bold imagery, an experimental style and recurring themes of light and renewal.

Drach also wrote screenplays for landmark films of Ukrainian poetic cinema, including A Spring for the Thirsty, The Lost Letter and The Stone Cross.

After facing political pressure under Soviet rule, he later became a prominent figure in Ukraine’s independence movement, helping mobilise public support for the restoration of Ukraine’s independence.

“I am an absolute optimist. I believe in my people. Otherwise, why live in this world at all?” he once said – words that capture his enduring faith in Ukraine.

In Luxembourg, ahead of the EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stressed that Russia continues to attack Ukrainian cities, people and energy infrastructure every day. Many Ukrainian families are facing power and water shortages as a result of Russian strikes.

Ukraine has made its position clear: our country is ready for a mutual energy ceasefire – for a format that applies equally to both sides. Russia must now show the same readiness through concrete action.

​​Andrii Sybiha also called on European partners to take decisive action to increase pressure on Russia, strengthen Ukraine’s defence capabilities and advance peace efforts.
