Today marks 3⃣9⃣ years since the Chornobyl nuclear disaster. Yet the threat to nuclear safety has not passed. Russia’s illegal seizure of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant endangers millions in Ukraine and across Europe. This cannot be ignored.

Today Russia struck a residential area in Kryvyi Rih, killing at least 14 people, incl six children, injuring more than 50 others. Russia seeks war, not peace & the attacks against civilians, incl children are brutal proof of it. My condolences to the loved ones of the victims.

The ICC is a cornerstone of justice and accountability, essential for maintaining a rules-based global order. Hungary's decision to withdraw from the Rome Statute is deeply concerning. We strongly urge Hungary to rethink this step for the betterment of international justice.
