The NUG Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned that business and investment agreements made with Myanmar’s military regime may carry legal, financial, and operational risks. The ministry urged international and neighboring countries to avoid legitimizing the junta through new investments or cooperation, saying such engagement would worsen the political crisis and encourage further abuses.
Myanmar’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun, said nearly 22 million people in Myanmar are facing the worst humanitarian crisis in the country’s history since the 2021 coup. Speaking at a UN ECOSOC humanitarian meeting in New York, he said more than 3.6 million people have been displaced and nearly a quarter of the population may face severe food insecurity in 2026. He urged the international community to support cross-border aid and local organizations directly, rather than relying on the military regime.
The Karenni National Progressive Party said junta forces and allied militias are burning villages, extorting, torturing, killing civilians, and using people as human shields in an attempt to weaken the Karenni resistance. In a message marking the 175th Karenni National Day on June 21, the KNPP urged all political, civil society, and armed revolutionary forces to unite in ending military dictatorship and building a genuine federal democratic union.
In Kachin State’s Mogaung, the Ayeyarwady River has exceeded its danger level while heavy rain continues, causing flooding in low-lying wards. Local sources said water has reached near the main municipal market and that some residents urgently need rescue assistance. Social welfare groups from Myitkyina, Hopin, and Pinbaw are preparing to help, while villages along the Mogaung–Mohnyin road have also faced flooding and travel difficulties for about a week.
The Kuki Women’s Human Rights Organization provided emergency aid to displaced people from more than 50 villages along the Kalay–Tamu road in Sagaing Region. The group said civilians fled toward the India–Myanmar border after junta airstrikes and ground offensives began on June 8. KWHRO provided basic food and hygiene supplies, while warning that more emergency humanitarian assistance is still needed.
Myanmar democracy activists in New York held a silent “Proof of Life” action outside the UN headquarters to mark Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s 81st birthday. They called for proof that she is alive, her release and the release of all political prisoners, and stronger UN action on Myanmar. Similar rose campaigns and birthday events were also held by Myanmar communities in Canada, the Czech Republic, and Japan.
The UK government also urged all parties in Myanmar to end conflict-related sexual violence and gender-based violence. Marking the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, the UK said survivors in Myanmar face long-term physical and psychological harm and often struggle to access care and support. The UK reaffirmed its commitment to supporting safe spaces, livelihood opportunities, and healthcare services for survivors.
