#Russland zeigt nach wie vor keine Bereitschaft für ernsthafte Friedensverhandlungen. Deshalb haben wir die EU-Sanktionen weiter nachgeschärft, um in Moskau ein Umdenken zu erreichen. 1/2

Russia will not escape the bill for the homes, schools, and hospitals it has destroyed.

Today in The Hague, we take a major step toward accountability by establishing a commission to address claims for Russian war damages.

The EU supports its work, including with an initial €1 million contribution

The victims of Russia’s brutality deserve justice.

And compensation.

Today’s Claims Commission agreement sends a clear message: the aggressor will be held accountable.

#70years after Austria’s accession to the #UN, one thing is clear: A rules-based international world order is crucial for our security. That is why we are running for a seat on the UN Security Council for 2027/2028. We must work together to ensure peace, freedom, and prosperity.

Switzerland published its updated national security strategy today. Noteworthy passages. Eg one deploring that the prohibition of arms exports to Ukraine is weakening Switzerland’s defence industry and thus its ability to defend itself

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

Everyone has been getting richer over the past 30 years. The super rich have been increasing their wealth much faster than the rest though. This means inequality increased too.

We need to build up European military capabilities swiftly.

Strengthening European defence and supporting Ukraine are not separate tracks.
They are mutually reinforcing priorities.

Today’s call with E5 defence colleagues underscored our shared determination to move forward on both.

Wichtig wäre natürlich auch eine ernsthafte Regulierung von Social Media (zB Ende des Plattform-Privilegs, wonach sie für ihre Inhalte nicht haften), deren konsequente Vollziehung und auch die Entwicklung einer gut gebauten europäischen öffentl.-rechtlichen SM-Plattform als Alternative.

The OSCE was established to keep war away from Europe.

Yet, Russia blatantly violates international law and OSCE principles.

The EU will stay the course.
Only more pressure on Russia and more support to Ukraine will change the balance.
