We stand with Ukraine because it is the right thing to do. We will not let Russia’s imperial ambition threaten European security. Ukraine needs money now. Europe must move. And Russia must pay. We need a decision from next week's #EUCO to move ahead with the reparations loan.

Russia’s frozen state assets are Europe’s strongest leverage. Using them to finance Ukraine is the decisive step Europe must take now. Thank you, @sikorskiradek, for convening a very timely discussion with the foreign ministers of the Council of the Baltic Sea States today on

Europe must stand up for itself, demonstrate capability, and back it with real action. Taking action with Russia’s frozen assets is exactly what we need to ensure both allies and competitors take us seriously, Secretary General @vseviov said. https://t.co/eJfQERVO99

Russia is weaponising children. To date, around 20,000 Ukrainian 🇺🇦 children have been unlawfully deported to Russia, where they are subjected to propaganda and militarisation. Today’s #UNGA resolution, demanding their immediate and safe return, is a monumental step. Russia’s
✅#UNGA adopted a landmark resolution demanding immediate& safe return of unlawfully deported 🇺🇦 children. ru must stop violating int law aiming to erase kids’ national identity & ruin 🇺🇦future. 🇪🇪stands with🇺🇦 &will keep working to bring every child home& ensure accountability.

The resolution passed. Things are clearer again. Russia - alongside 11 other countries - is against returning Ukrainian children.
🇪🇪 position is clear: this resolution must pass. Allowing the deportation of Ukrainian children to go unchallenged would erode the safety of children everywhere. We call on all to vote “yes”.

The EU’s proposal to use €210B of frozen Russian assets to guarantee a loan for Ukraine is a real breakthrough, one Estonia has pushed for since the start of Russia’s brutal war. Russia has caused over €500B in damage, and Russia will pay. This step puts Ukraine in a position

34 years ago, Ukrainians overwhelmingly chose independence. Today, they continue choosing freedom every day and night, standing strong against Russia’s aggression and imperialism with courage and resilience. 🇺🇦

Another devastating night in Ukraine under relentless Russian drone and missile attacks. Russia continues its campaign to terrorize Ukrainians, crush their hope, and break their resilience. In response, the aggressor must face the strongest possible pressure, while support for
A difficult night in Ukraine, particularly in Kyiv. Russia shot dozens of cruise and ballistic missiles and over 500 drones at ordinary homes, the energy grid, and critical infrastructure. At least 2 people were killed and two dozen injured, including a child. While everyone is
