While Russia continues to target Ukrainian cities with Iranian Shahed drones, Iran hits numerous places in the Middle East with the same drones – not only military bases but also residential buildings. "We once again express our solidarity with our Cypriot friends; Israel, which is constantly under attack; and the Gulf countries targeted by Iran: Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE," Andrii Sybiha, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, has stated. We express our condolences over the lives lost as a result of Iran’s strikes. This terror must be stopped. Both Russia and Iran must be held accountable. #ukraine #iran #bahrain #uae🇦🇪 #middleeast

On the Day of Crimea's Resistance to the Russian Federation's occupation, we recollect an act of bravery from March 2014 🇺🇦 At the time, Russia blockaded Ukrainian military units, including the Nakhimov Naval School in Sevastopol. While establishing total control, the invaders scheduled a shame ceremony to raise the Russian flag. Despite facing pressure, threats, and false promises from Russia, the Ukrainian cadets still responded by singing the anthem of Ukraine. They did not stop even though Russians tried to hush them up. This act became a symbol of Crimean resistance to Russia's aggression. Today, the resistance of Crimean residents stays strong. Crimea is Ukraine! 🇺🇦 #ukraine #crimea #resilience #freedom

Today marks the fourth anniversary of Ukraine’s monumental resistance to Russia’s full-scale aggression. The war continues for one reason only: Russia has not abandoned its imperial ambitions and continues to wage war and carry out terror against civilians. Our goal is to stop it. We thank everyone who supports Ukraine and helps bring this war to an end.

Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych’s memory helmet shows the faces of Ukrainian athletes and coaches killed by Russia’s war. The International Olympic Committee has disqualified him for wearing it – undermining its own reputation. This decision is a shameful betrayal of Olympic values. More than 650 Ukrainian athletes and coaches have lost their lives because of Russia’s war. Remembering them is an act of dignity and courage. #ukraine #sport #olympics #winterolympics

On the battlefield, reliable gear is essential for staying alive and doing the job properly. When all your equipment is reliable, you can focus on what matters most. This is how the 20th Brigade 'Lubart' of the 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine 'Azov' works 🇺🇦 Video: 20th Brigade 'Lubart' #ukraine #soldier

An F-16 pilot from the Ukrainian Air Force shot down a Shahed drone using the aircraft’s cannon. A shootdown at such close range is a deadly risk. We thank Ukraine’s defenders for their courage! 🇺🇦 #ukraine #pilot #f16

LELÉKA will represent Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 with the song 'Ridnym' 🎤🇺🇦 'Ridnym' (meaning 'To the Loved Ones') is a poetic story about renewal, roots, and the path back to what truly matters. Drawing strength from nature and memory, the song speaks about change, healing, and returning home – in every sense of the word. In the national selection, LELÉKA scored 20 points from the jury and the audience. Ukraine will perform at the Eurovision Song Contest at the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna in May 2026 🇦🇹 #ukraine #music #eurovision

A deeply moving moment: a father learns that his son is returning from Russian captivity – and he is already in Ukraine, heading home. Today, 157 Ukrainians who had been held in captivity have been reunited with their families or are on their way. But many Ukrainians still remain in Russian captivity. Every one of them must return home. We will keep working until this becomes reality.

All Ukrainians held in Russian captivity – soldiers and civilians – must return home. Today, after a long wait, 157 Ukrainians came back, including 7 civilians. We are grateful to everyone who makes these exchanges possible. It is essential that every family sees their loved ones still held in Russian captivity return.

💬 'Girl, come on! There was a possibility that you would not even come to this tournament.' After her debut WTA main-draw win, Ukrainian tennis player Oleksandra Oliynykova talks about preparing to compete while Russia keeps attacking Ukraine. This is what training looks like for Ukrainian athletes during Russia's full-scale war of aggression. #ukraine #tennis #sports #win

What Ukrainians are enduring as a result of Russia’s attacks on our energy infrastructure is horrific. No child, no elderly person, no one anywhere in the world should have to go through this and spend winter days without heat, water, or electricity. Russia is deliberately waging energy terror against the civilian population. Only united action by the international community can stop Russia. #WarmthForUkraine We are grateful to all countries, organisations, and people all over the world providing energy support to Ukraine. We call on our partners to increase pressure on Russia – so that the aggressor state is unable to intensify or expand its terror.

🇺🇦 On January 22, Ukrainians mark the Day of Unity. It commemorates the moment in 1919 when the Ukrainian People’s Republic and the West Ukrainian People’s Republic declared their unification into one state. Today, Ukrainians continue to defend this right – the right to exist as an independent and free nation. Unity for Ukrainians today is not abstract – it is about everyday choices that make us stronger and fill our hearts with hope. We stand together. Stand with us, stand with Ukraine. #ukraine #unity

This January, winter days start with tonnes of clothes and cold air indoors for Ukrainians. Electricity and heating come and go because of Russia's attacks on civilian infrastructure. People layer up, breathe into their hands, look for warmth wherever they can. And yet, someone steps outside, notices the snow, and starts dancing. At the same time, those who keep the country running face the cold head-on. Rescuers and energy workers work around the clock. Our defenders spend freezing days and nights on duty, standing watch through snow and sub-zero temperatures, with little opportunity to rest or recharge – all so that the country can keep going. To rise up is a choice that Ukrainians make every day. Thank you to everyone in Ukraine who keeps rising – to live, to care, and to fight 💙💛 #ukraine #winter #snow
