    Putin’s fellow travellers… Salvini, Le Pen, Orbán… Never forget !

    Bad adventure for Matteo Salvini at the Ukrainian-Polish border: the mayor of Przemys refused to go with him and showed the shirt worn by the leader of the League in the European Parliament a few years ago: "No respect for you" (🎥 )

    Companies that sustain Putin’s war👇🏻 deserve a boycott

    Most importantly, here’s the list of companies that continue to do business with Russia. They need to withdraw as soon as possible. If not, they should be boycotted in the West. Profits over national security is unacceptable

    What we absolutely need this week: ✔️ go cold turkey on Russian gas ✔️ link alternative flows ✔️ enhanced humanitarian & military solidarity ✔️ extend SWIFT sanctions to ALL 🇷🇺 banks 🛑 Stop Putin’s war NOW ! 🛑

    60% of Germans polled by INSA/BILD say 🇩🇪should stop importing gas from Russia. Remarkable. Almost half of Germans polled (48%) say sanctions are not sufficiently far-reaching. Only 16% say they go too far (less than combined AfD/Left vote share).

    Young Orban was right 👏🏻 Now he has the choice : Stop blocking freedom from the West... or we will block money to the East !

    “Oil may come from the East but freedom always comes from the West.” (Viktor Orbán, 2007) h/t ⁦⁩

    Putin will prevail unless we, Europeans, are willing to accept costs. Our addiction to his fossil fuels funds Putin's war machine. We need the political leadership to end ALL imports of Russian gas and oil NOW.

    In Marseille at the 🇪🇺 summit of Regions & Cities, a dramatic appeal for help by Mayors of Kyiv, Kharkiv & Mariupol. Putin doesn’t fight the 🇺🇦 army, he wants to eradicate the population. Full Swift sanctions, total ban of Russian gas & more military equipment urgently needed!

    The whole world - including China 🇨🇳& India 🇮🇳 - must come together to stop the nuclear danger deriving from Russia’s invasion now… TODAY ! 🛑🛑🛑

    I'm deeply concerned with situation at Nuclear Power Plant. Spoke with PM Denys Shmygal; 's monitoring and in close contact with 's nuclear regulator and operator. I appeal to parties to refrain from actions that can put NPPs in danger.

    The billion euro question… … and the follow-up question: how do we set up an EU energy union to lower prices, safeguard provisions and raise revenue to pay for solidarity measures going forward? Entire overhaul of EU ahead !

    Something innovative will need to be done across the EU to help cushion energy price rises. How about an EU loan facility to enable reductions in energy taxes, to be repaid with energy taxation revenue when world prices are lower again but EU prices need to be higher due to CC?

    BIG story this 👇🏻 EU sanctions are too slow & limited. We need to go much further before Russia’s economy recovers first shock: uncouple from gas & exclude the whole Russian banking secor from Swift. Hard… but unavoidable !

    Not so swift. Our public story on how the EU has effectively ended up cancelling the sanctions against the Russian banks.

    As Putin’s propaganda reaches Soviet era levels… … ordinary Russians realise more than ever that their government is lying to them. 👏🏻 for free & independent media !

    New figures show people in Russia are turning to BBC News in their millions for factual independent information about the war in Ukraine.
