Ukraine: Attacks continued to intensify - Briefing | United Nations

Assistant Secretary-General Khaled Khiari told the Security Council that “five years in, the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine continues to test international law, drive deepening divisions, and undermine the broader rules-based multilateral order.” Khiari said Russian attacks “continued to intensify,” during the reporting period “with mounting civilian casualties and devastation across Ukraine.” He noted that on 9th of April, “following Ukraine's earlier proposal of an Easter ceasefire, the Russian Federation announced a 32-hour Easter truce from 11 to 12 April,” adding that Ukraine “responded that it would reciprocate.” However, Khiari said, “this temporary pause in fighting that could have allowed a peaceful celebration of Orthodox Easter was not respected.” On the night from 15 to 16 April, he continued, “the Russian Federation lunched its deadliest attack so far this year, targeting Odessa, Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, Sumy and Kharkiv regions.” In the city of Odessa and Dnipro, the official said, “residential buildings were hit, reportedly killing at least nine and five people, respectively. In total, across the country, at least 20 people, including at least one child, were reportedly killed and dozens more injured by this attack.” Beyond the immediate conflict zone, Khiari said, “the war has heightened regional tensions and insecurity, with drones reportedly sighted this month in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Finland.” He said, “we must remain steadfast in our commitment to ending this war, guided by the principle and obligations set out in the United Nations Charter.”

Shaping Africa’s Climate Future - SDG Media Zone | United Nations

Africa is on the frontlines of the climate crisis, warming faster than the global average and facing disproportionate climate impacts despite contributing the least to global greenhouse gas emissions. This is particularly evident in the growing pressures that climate change is placing on water resources and systems across the continent. As water underpins agriculture, livelihoods, ecosystems, and energy production, water-related climate impacts are deepening inequalities and threatening sustainable development across Africa. African youth are driving critical climate innovations, advancing practical solutions, and changing the continent’s climate future. This dialogue aims to spotlight Africa’s youth innovators at the forefront of addressing climate change impacts, highlighting their leadership in building resilient communities, strengthening water security, and advancing global climate solutions.
