Canada is one of the EU’s closest partners – and a trusted friend.

Today, I am proud to sign a new Security and Defence Partnership with Canada.

At a time of rising tensions, it will deepen our defence ties and unlock new cooperation.

Every inch of Russia’s war has been documented.

There is no room for doubt – and no room for impunity.

The agreement between President Zelenskyy
and @coe.int to set up a Special Tribunal sends a clear message: no one in Russia’s leadership is untouchable.

(3/3) With decades of Western policy consensus callously swept aside, European nations must now do everything within their power to preserve Ukraine’s sovereignty and repel Russia’s aggression.

(2/3) The UK government is doing its best to live up to this commitment, but the US is effectively siding with Russia in undermining it. Instead of seeing its sovereignty preserved, Ukraine is being pressured to accept a lopsided peace agreement without real guarantees.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Love this account set up by college student Jack Sweeney that tracks top carbon emitter Elon Musk’s private jet. Musk famously tried to buy the twitter account from him for $5000, he refused, so Musk banned it from the now imploding mass Xodus site. Great to see you here @elonjet.net!

~ 979 gallons (3,704 liters).
~ 6,558 lbs (2,975 kg) of jet fuel used.
~ $5,480 cost of fuel.
~ 10 tons of CO2 emissions.

If we released a list of all the companies that supported Trump and Project 2025 during the election, would you consider boycotting them all?

Follow us and repost if you would. 💪
