“The sanctions are here to stay, no appeasement.” #SOTEU

It's now up to the European Council & the Commission to keep up the high level of ambition proposed by the Parliament in the discussions among the 3 institutions. 3/3

Ukraine declared independence on the 24th August 1991. Since more than 6 month now, the country is forced to defend its sovereignty, freedom and rights. I hope for Ukrainian to celebrate their Nationalday in a free country next year! 🇺🇦
