russian FPV drones are constantly hunting Ukrainian evacuation vehicles, so our guys have to shoot them down with small arms right while evacuating civilians. For many residents of frontline cities, the "White Angels" police units and volunteers are the only chance to escape.

Polish PM Tusk: Now we have a simple choice: either money today, or blood tomorrow. I’m not talking about Ukraine only, I’m talking about Europe. This is our decision to make. And only ours. All European leaders must finally rise to the challenge.

We need a solution on the financing of Ukraine today.
This is urgent and important.
Especially at this critical moment, when peace is within reach.

Putin is banking on our failure to act.
We cannot afford to do him that favour.
The Reparations Loan is the most clear-cut option for sustained funding for Ukraine.

Politie, gemeenten en hulpverleners stellen dat strafbaarstelling van mensen zonder verblijfsvergunning zorgt voor extra werkdruk en averechts werkt.
Slachtoffers van uitbuiting of (seksueel) geweld zullen nog vaker hulp mijden.

Ukraine’s future - and Europe’s credibility - are on the line today.
Over €200 billion in Russian assets are frozen in Europe while Ukraine urgently needs resources to keep its country running and defend itself. 🇺🇦
Russia started this war. Russia should pay for it.
Use the frozen Russian assets!

Vague threats to a few key officials must not be allowed to dictate European security. Moscow is laughing that we make it so easy for them. Step up Belgium.

A reminder for all those who think perhaps Putin only wants Donbas: in 2021, Putin wrote an essay on the supposed unity of Russians and Ukrainians, not Russians and Donbassians. He wants ALL OF UKRAINE.

We share more than geography with the Western Balkans.
We share responsibility for Europe’s security.
This is why the EU is stepping up security and defence cooperation with the region and reinforcing joint response against hybrid threats and foreign interference.
Our future lies together.

We moeten het over Bulgarije hebben.
Op X ging een claim rond over ‘8 miljoen demonstranten tegen de EU’. Onzin: het land telt 6,5 mln inwoners en het protest was juist niet anti-EU. Gen Z ging massaal de straat op tegen corruptie, vaak mét EU-vlaggen.
Wat speelt er? 🧵 1/11

And this isn’t something new.
Russia has done this before so many times. During the Holodomor, Ukrainians were starved, their homes confiscated and then others were moved in. During Stalin’s deportations and the Gulag system, Ukrainians were erased too.
