Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.
Member States must remain united, not outbid each other. For consumers & energy supply.
Ahead of #EUCO, @europarl_en position is clear: price caps, stop price speculation, negotiate as block.
We must future-proof markets now

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.

Moldova belongs to the European family.
Speaking with @sandumaiamd, I reiterated @europarl_en’s support as Moldova - like all Europe - continues to deal with the energy crisis.
You are not alone. Together we are stronger.
🇪🇺🇲🇩

"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.

Pleasure to welcome Professor @azadeh_kian to Strasbourg.
My message to every woman fighting for their rights in Iran: you are not alone.
@europarl_en stands with Iranians demanding change.
For women, for life, for liberty.

Die Deutsche Einheit kam, weil Menschen Glauben an Demokratie & Freiheit nie aufgaben, mit Mut & Weitsicht von einer besseren Welt träumten.
Vor 32 Jahren kam Deutschland zusammen. Für ein besseres, stärkeres, vereintes Europa.
Einen glücklichen Tag der Einheit Deutschland 🇪🇺🇩🇪

With the Treaty of Amsterdam signed 25 years ago, EU took an important step to develop a common foreign & security policy.
With war on our continent, EU must take the next step: a real & strong Security & Defence Union.
🇪🇺 is ready for the next step.
Together we can reform.

We do not recognise Russia’s sham referenda.
We do not recognise Kremlin’s illegal annexation.

We must invest, research & step up our game.
Innovation is the basis for European autonomy and development.
For fighting climate change and realising energy diversification.
Thank you @GabrielMariya for an excellent discussion at #RIDaysEU.

Europe will only survive if we fight for it, if we understand & explain its benefits. If we push back against those determined to undermine it. If we listen.
Now is the time for Europe to be at its best.

Ukraine needs heavy weapons & tanks. And we can help provide them.
Europe must be ready for the next phase. Our response must match the threat.
Tonight in Berlin, I spoke about how Europe must lead & deliver in concrete terms if we want to protect our democracy and way of life.

The fight against corruption, for democracy & human rights in Russia must continue. @navalny must be released.
As we continue to stand with Ukraine, @europarl_en supports further sanctions against Kremlin and oligarchs funding Putin's war & domestic oppression.
🐦🔗: https://nitter.eu/EP_President/status/1575123737401237505
Yulia Navalnaya's tenacity & resistance are an inspiration.
Your and @navalny's determination & courage in standing up for a democratic Russia is commendable & impressive.
Because of our common values - peace, democracy, rule of law - @europarl_en welcomes you with open arms.

In Europe's fight against terrorism, cybersecurity & criminal organisations, cross-border cooperation is crucial.
With @Europol Executive Director Catherine De Bolle, discussed the importance of information exchange between authorities in Member States.
Europe can be safer.

United in diversity.
There's no better day to celebrate our EU motto than today, on the European Day of Languages.
Understanding the power of Europe is best in your own language.

The daughters of #Iran are rising up to demand equality, respect for their rights & freedoms, an end to oppression.
It's the brave, young women leading the charge. From @europarl_en, I want to tell you that you are not alone.
#MahsaAmini was 22 years old. Remember her.

To be clear: no sham referenda will change Europe's stance on Ukraine and its territorial integrity. Nor will it change the fact that it was Russia that invaded sovereign Ukraine.
Europe stands with Ukraine 🇪🇺 🇺🇦
