Deeply shocked by Russia’s attacks on civilians in #Kyiv and other cities in Ukraine. Such acts have no place in 21st century. I condemn them in the strongest possible terms. We stand with Ukraine. Additional military support from the EU is on its way.

Si el Sr. Rufián fuera Catilina le hubiera replicado, como Cicerón, "Quosque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra?" (¿Hasta cuándo, Catilina, abusarás de nuestra paciencia?). Pero las Catilinarias tenían un nivel oratorio imposible de comparar con el del diputado Rufián.

Hoy hace 79 años el III Reich alemán invadió #Polonia y #Europa se autodestruyó consecuencia del enfrentamiento entre nacionalismos exacerbados y de la locura étnica. De sus cenizas surgió la #UE, que nos ha dado ya casi 70 años de paz. No olvidemos las lecciones de la Historia.

The sentencing of Alexey runs counter Russia’s international commitments on rule of law & fundamental freedoms. It goes against the verdict of #ECHR, which ruled this case arbitrary and unreasonable. I call for his immediate release.

Unacceptable remarks of the Chinese Ambassador to France questioning the sovereignty of the countries which became independent with the end of the Soviet Union in 1991. The EU can only suppose these declarations do not represent China’s official policy.

Unspeakable crimes are being reported from liberated regions in Ukraine. Sexual violence as weapon of war against women & children among atrocities committed by Russian troops. Perpetrators must be held accountable. EU works globally to eliminate conflict-related sexual violence

#UNGA unequivocally rejected Russia’s illegal annexation of #Ukrainian territories, another blatant violation of the Charter. 143 votes in favour confirm Russia’s international isolation. Russia will be held accountable. The EU will stand by Ukraine for as long as it takes.

Elocuente vídeo que muestra la vacuidad e irresponsabilidad del independentismo. El Sr Torra, impotente ante la realidad a la que se le enfrenta, es incapaz de responder. Deje de abonar el nacionalpopulismo, respete las leyes y dedíquese a resolver los problemas de los catalanes.

The Ukrainian army is one of the best in the world. They have proven to be. Ukraine is resisting, fighting off the Russian aggression, which is trying to cruelly push the country into darkness and cold. Humbled by the courageous soldiers and their will to defend their people.

Horrified by the reports of continuous violence, including targeting of civilians, in #Shire #Tigray. Genuine peace efforts do not amount to increasing military offensives nor to provocation. Respecting international law is not an option - it is an obligation for all. #AUEU

Russia’s decision to suspend participation in the Black Sea deal puts at risks the main export route of much needed grain and fertilisers to address the global food crisis caused by its war against Ukraine. The EU urges Russia to revert its decision.

A cease fire doesn’t mean cutting a region off power or destroying critical infrastructure. A credible cease fire means doing everything possible so that aid reaches the millions of children, women and men who urgently need it. Saving lives should be a priority for all. #Tigray
