Met with Ukraine's General Prosecutor @AndriyKostinUa hours after renewed, indiscriminate attacks on civilians in Kyiv.
Innocent children, women & men travelling to school & work are not targets. @europarl_en supports all efforts to ensure that war criminals are held to account.

RT @RobertaMetsola: Five years ago they killed a woman to hide their crimes. Then they tried to cover it up. We didn't let them.
In Malta today, on behalf of @europarl_en, I'll join those remembering #DaphneCaruanaGalizia: journalist, mother, daughter, warrior.
For justice. For Daphne. For us all.

Ukraine is counting on us. Our support must not stop here.

I know that you will not give up. Neither will we.
🇪🇺🇺🇦

Congratulations @tonymurphyeca on your new role as @EUAuditors President.
In @europarl_en, you have a strong ally in making sure that EU funds are used to the benefit of all citizens.

Impact of war on women & children is severe.
With @market_a, hosted women Speakers of EU Parliaments to discuss increased support to our Ukrainian friends.
More humanitarian support to displaced families is needed. We can provide that.
Solidarity with Ukraine can go further.

The people of Belarus are fighting for freedom.
Welcoming @Tsihanouskaya to @europarl_en, I reiterated our support for a free, democratic Belarus.
Europe will hold Lukashenko's regime accountable for human rights violations.
I know you will never give up. And neither will we.

What is happening now in #Kyiv is sickening.
It shows the world, again, the regime we are faced with: One that targets indiscriminately. One that rains terror & death down on children.
This is criminal. They will be held to account. Ukraine will win. Europe will not look away.

Households, SMEs & industries are struggling with skyrocketing bills.
Europe can react. Through cooperation. To save jobs.
⚪️ Stop outbidding each other
⚪️ Negotiate as a block
⚪️ No more price speculation
@europarl_en stands ready to act swiftly and constructively.

Today's #EUCO took place at a crucial moment.
Because urgent decisions are needed.
⚪ To help Ukraine financially, politically & militarily
⚪ To ensure that sanctions against Russia are achieving the desired impacts
⚪ To protect households & businesses from high energy bills

This is no time for complacency.
Europe can find the answers to the questions our people are demanding from us.
Together, we are better.

Real peace needs justice and accountability for war crimes committed in Ukraine.
We must hold all perpetrators to account and warn the world that crimes cannot be committed with impunity.

We must support Ukraine.
They need heavy armour that allows them to push back.
Europe can help and together provide the necessary military support.
Doing nothing is not an option.

Europe is once again at a decision point. We must face it together.
We must protect our households and businesses, and support Ukraine.
On gas we should learn our lessons: negotiate as a block & stop price speculation.

At #EUCO in Prague today, on behalf of @europarl_en, my message is:
⚪ Provide Ukraine with much needed heavy weapons and tanks. Our response must continue to match the threat.
⚪ We should not outbid each other. On energy, we need joint procurement.

EU & Switzerland are like-minded partners. Together we will continue to stand up for democracy, against autocracy & aggression.

Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia - just like Crimea - are and will remain part of independent and sovereign Ukraine.
No sham referenda can ever change this.

Nine years ago today, 360 people died in a shipwreck off Lampedusa. Many remain unidentified.
Lives lost and dreams shattered.
We must never allow ourselves to become desensitised to the tragedy.
We must find a way forward on migration. A holistic, humane and European way.

"Women. Life. Liberty."
Three words that have become a rallying cry for all those standing up for equality, dignity and freedom in #Iran.
Women are leading the charge. They are the change-makers. @europarl_en is with them.
We will not look away.
