The Netherlands 🇳🇱 is a strong supporter of @IAEAorg’s work to ensure nuclear safety and security in Ukraine. Thanks also for backing our indispensable role in verification efforts in Iran. Excellent to meet with @DutchMFA’s @ministerBZ @CasparVeldkamp at #URC2025 in Rome.

To mark 3rd year of Russia’s full scale war of aggression against Ukraine, @euunvie, @SwedenUN_Vienna, @AustriaUNVienna, @UKRinOSCE & NL mission organised panel discussion on Challenges to International Norms Regarding Use of Force & Respect for Territorial Integrity of #Ukraine

Important to uphold and defend international law and not to accept or trivialise Russia’s crime of aggression
No one is above the law
The EU has joined forces with over 40 countries to establish a Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against #Ukraine

As we mark 3 years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, it is vital that we push even harder for a just and lasting peace.
European allies are ready and willing to do their part - including with robust security guarantees and more financial assistance

Adoption of today's UNGA resolution on an early & just peace in Ukraine confirms the importance of upholding the UN Charter & respecting all countries' territorial integrity & sovereignty.
Peace in Ukraine. In line with the Charter.

Thanks to the Netherlands 🇳🇱 for its generous new contribution to @IAEAorg’s work in Ukraine.
As I shared with Ambassador Peter Potman in Vienna, our commitment to ensuring nuclear safety and security in Ukraine continues.

Attacking a nuclear power plant is a no-go.
Targeting those ensuring its safety and security—like the Dec 10 incident where a drone hit and damaged an @IAEAorg vehicle during a team rotation at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya NPP—is unacceptable.
My statement to the BoG today.
Director General @rafaelmgrossi addressed the Board of Governors today regarding the December 10 incident where a drone hit and severely damaged an official IAEA vehicle during a team rotation at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya NPP.

On this day in 1953, US President Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered his historic 'Atoms for Peace' speech at the @UN General Assembly in NYC. This speech paved the way for the creation of the IAEA in 1957, championing nuclear science & tech for peace & development around the globe.

Tonight, and for the next #16Days, I am proud that @UN_Vienna will light up in orange in solidarity with women and girls everywhere.
Our mural reminds us of the importance of empowering and listening to women as we work to create a world free from violence.

This afternoon, @ministerBZ Caspar Veldkamp raised the #OrangeTheWorld flag at our ministry. The Netherlands works to prevent and eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls. We underline the crucial importance of international cooperation to ignite change. #NoExcuse

Honoured to welcome Ukraine’s Energy Minister @G_Galushchenko to EU HoMs. Russia’s escalating strikes against #Ukraine's energy infrastructure violate international law and directly threaten nuclear safety & security.
They must stop !
