🇧🇪🇺🇦 Celebrating Belgium’s National Day in Kyiv For the second year in a row, Belgium’s National Day was celebrated in the unique surroundings of Saint Sophia of Kyiv, a place where history, culture and living heritage come together. This year’s celebration was organised by Team Belgium: the Embassy of Belgium in Ukraine, the Belgian Ministry of Defence and Enabel in Ukraine. Beyond marking National Day, the event was an opportunity to reaffirm Belgium’s #solidarity with Ukraine and the strong partnership that continues to grow between the two countries. We were especially pleased to count on the generous support of Belgian businesses active in Ukraine, whose continued presence and commitment, despite the challenges of Russia's war of aggression, reflect their confidence in the country’s future. A memorable performance by the Military Band of the Separate Artillery Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine set the tone for the evening, while some very special Belgian guests, the Smurfs, made sure to welcome attendees with smiles and good humour. Thank you to everyone who joined the celebration. Watch the aftermovie and relive the atmosphere of the evening. And one more question: did you spot the Smurfs? 😉 Belgian Defence Enabel AB INBEV EFES UKRAINE Reynaers Aluminium Ukraine Cargovis Materialise Sibelco Group Schréder Ahlers Logistics Puratos DHOLLANDIA Global SESVANDERHAVE HPX MELEXIS Sarens Air Products Solvay Luc JACOBS Lorenz Herpoel Hervé Kerff Ministry of Foreign Affairs Belgium Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine

During a recent visit to Dnipro, Ambassador Luc JACOBS and Olivier Thery, International Cooperation Policy Advisor, had the opportunity to meet with members of the Inspira Business Club and gain first-hand insight into the realities of doing business in one of Ukraine’s key industrial centres. Local entrepreneurs shared both their achievements and the challenges they face, including the need to increase export quotas for Ukrainian steel pipe products, a matter of significant importance for the region’s economy and its continued integration into European markets. Among the participants was Anton Kistol, a researcher at the Dmytro Yavornytsky National Historical Museum of Dnipro and representative of the Dnipro Centre for Business History, whose research on the history of the Belgian Consulate in Katerynoslav reflects the deep historical roots of Belgian-Ukrainian economic relations in the region. The visit continued at the Dmytro Yavornytsky National Historical Museum of Dnipro, where the delegation explored the museum’s collections and the remarkable gathering of Polovtsian stone statues (“babas”) — unique examples of medieval stone sculpture created by Turkic nomadic peoples. Many of these artefacts were evacuated from areas affected by the war, thanks to the tireless efforts of museum workers. A warm meeting with museum representatives from the Dnipro and Donetsk regions showed their strong commitment to preserving the rich heritage and memory of Belgian industrialists in eastern Ukraine — a legacy that currently faces the threat of physical destruction due to Russian aggression.

🦾 An injury may change the course of a life. But it should never define its future. Belgium was honoured to join the annual Superhumans Reunion 2026 in Odesa, home to Ukraine’s third Superhumans Center. 🇧🇪 Earlier this year, Enabel, together with the Superhumans Centre and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, launched a landmark partnership to strengthen cranio-maxillofacial surgery in Ukraine. The project will support the establishment of centres of excellence in Lviv and Kyiv, bringing together the treatment of the most complex cases, advanced surgical training, structured patient pathways, and long-term rehabilitation. To complement the capacity-building interventions, Enabel is supporting the modernisation of two surgical theatres at the Kyiv Regional Clinical Hospital, which will be equipped to meet the needs of cranio-maxillofacial surgery. We also donated a high-capacity generator to power the Superhumans Centre in Odesa. The initiative also brings together Belgian expertise and innovation. Belgian company Materialise contributes cutting-edge technologies that help strengthen Ukraine’s capacity for complex reconstructive care.
