Solidarity is not a slogan. It’s a choice we make. It’s standing beside someone when the world feels uncertain. It’s opening doors and refusing to look away when someone needs our help. 🫂 Polish-Ukrainian solidarity is built on moments like these.

Over the past few months, the #ResilientTogether campaign has shared stories of people who turned compassion into action, strangers who became neighbours, and everyday acts of kindness that brought hope when it was needed most.

🇵🇱 Polskie wsparcie przynosi konkretne efekty. Strażacy z zespołu USAR, szkolonego przez @FundacjaPCPM w ramach programu #PolskaPomoc, uratowali w Nairobi 🇰🇪 cztery osoby.
Cztery osoby w tym matkę w ciąży uratowali strażacy z zespołu USAR, który szkolimy w ramach @polskapomoc. Do duży sukces, który ma miejsce w cieniu ogromnej tragedii do której doszło w Nairobi. Wciąż nawet 30 osób może być zaginionych, dlatego strażacy nie przerywają pracy

Another Russia–Africa summit. Another round of ambitious promises.    Moscow continues to present itself as a reliable partner to African countries, pledging cooperation on food security, economic development, peace and stability.    Yet Russia’s actions raise serious questions about these commitments.    Russian attacks on Ukrainian ports and grain infrastructure have disrupted agricultural exports, also to Africa. Reports have exposed deceptive recruitment of African nationals into Russia’s war against Ukraine. In Mali, Russian forces have been implicated in serious abuses against civilians. Meanwhile, Moscow has fallen short of major economic ambitions announced at previous summits.    As Russia prepares to announce new commitments, its existing track record deserves scrutiny.    What matters is not what Moscow promises, but what it actually delivers.

The #RoadToSchuman event organised by @EUinKenya focused on EU and Kenya’s shared interests and respective efforts to regional stability, notably on maritime security in the Western Indian Ocean and counter-terrorism in East Africa.

For Svitlana Neilenko, resilience is not an abstract concept. It means being ready to protect lives when a crisis strikes. As the coordinator of the “Firefighters” project, Svitlana is helping bring Polish experience in civil protection to local communities across Ukraine.

Russia’s expanding influence in Africa carries a darker side: armed pressure, exploitation, and forced recruitment.

Newborns need care and protection, even as Russian bombs bring terror and destruction. With support from the Polish MFA, the Polish Medical Mission equips 28 hospitals in 16 Ukrainian cities with life-saving equipment and specialist training in neonatal care.
