Europe cannot afford complacency. Solidarity, democracy & peace must be defended.

🌹Progressive forces must unite for Ukraine, for citizen safety, and for a Europe that will never bow to intimidation. ✊🏼🇪🇺

🗣️We call for:

👉🏼Clear, united condemnation of all airspace violations

👉🏼Strengthened defensive measures along EU’s eastern borders

👉🏼Urgent support to Ukraine: military, logistics & political

👉🏼Sanctions & accountability for Russian leadership

👉🏼Strong EU solidarity

❌We condemn Russia’s blatant disregard for sovereignty & international law, and Belarus’ enabling of such actions. These provocations endanger civilians & infrastructure.

🌹Our solidarity is with Ukraine.

🚫These are not isolated incidents but part of a strategy to intimidate, destabilise & test Europe’s unity.

The war in Ukraine is at our doorstep.

👉🏼On 19 Sept, 3 Russian MiG-31 jets entered Estonian airspace without flight plans, ignoring ATC until intercepted by NATO. Russian jets also violated the safety zone around the Petrobaltic platform in the Baltic Sea. #Russia #Estonia

👉🏼On 9–10 Sept, 19–23 Russian drones entered Polish airspace. Airports in Warsaw, Rzeszów & Lublin suspended operations. Poland had to neutralise Russian drones on NATO territory for the first time in history. #NATO #Europe

🌹May we honor his memory by continuing to foster empathy and support for those struggling among us.

Rest in peace

🇪🇺We call on the EU institutions and Member states to continue working for better trade conditions and benefits for EU industries.

✊️We as Young European Socialists will not tolerate Trump’s way of “cooperating”. The new deal is far from equal and the EU must act!

💪At a time when the EU should strengthen its sovereignty, Von der Leyen, on her own, deals to buy more US gas and armament. And she does so even without any counterparty, for instance on GAFAM regulations.

🌹✊🏼YES will continue to advocate for a peaceful, just, and cooperative international order.

❌We reject warmongering and demand accountability from those who fuel conflict.

🇪🇺We call on the EU and the international community to take decisive action for de-escalation and peace.

✊🏼Solidarity must lie with the people, not with those who profit from war and division.

👉🏼There is no military solution to this crisis.

🤝🏼The only path forward is diplomacy, dialogue, and strict adherence to international law — with full respect for human rights and the protection of civilians.

✊🏼In times of crisis, solidarity and humanitarian support are essential.

👉🏼Political agendas should never come at the cost of human lives.

🇪🇺We call on all European governments and global actors to pressure Israel to respect human rights and ensure the delivery of aid without interference.
#Gaza

🌹✊🏼YES stand firmly against this violation of international law.

👉🏼Blocking humanitarian aid and silencing activists is unacceptable and must be condemned by the international community.

👉🏼The activists on board, including Greta Thunberg, were detained and taken to Ashdod, Israel. Thunberg and three others voluntarily signed deportation papers and were deported today.

‼️The remaining eight activists, including Rima Hassan, refused deportation and are contesting their detention.

On this May 9th, Europe day, we call for more integration and cooperation among Member States, for the reinforcement of the EU institutions, and for a tangible and realistic perspective for enlargement to achieve a truly united Europe 💙
