Granting 🇺🇦 EU candidate status is the best decision that the European Union can take.
It provides momentum for reforms & access to EU programmes. It gives hope.
Because values matter.

Glad to meet President of 🇩🇪 @Bundesrat @bodoramelow.
Attempts by Russia to destabilise EU & neighbourhood must be counteracted. For democracy & freedom.
Cooperation is key against blackmail. To protect consumers & industries, we must disentangle ourselves from Russian energy.

Since Kremlin started its brutal war, thousands of Ukrainians - including children - have been deported to Russia. Families torn apart.
@europarl_en pays respect to those who were forcibly deported by Soviet regime.
We cannot allow history to repeat itself.
