Знову разом в Україні.

Для України. Для Європи.

За мир. За свободу. За справедливість.

Для наших народів.

За останній рік я навчилася багатьом речам від українців. Але, мабуть, найважливіший урок - це те, як висловився Тарас Шевченко: "Борітеся, поборете!"

Це воістину актуальний дороговказ як у боротьбі за мир, за свободу, так і по життю взагалі.

Ніколи не зупиняйтеся!

With President @ZelenskyyUa in Lviv.

I have learnt many things from Ukraine the past year. But perhaps the most important lesson is one articulated by Taras Shevchenko: "Keep fighting, you are sure to win".

True in the quest for peace & freedom as it is in life.

Never give up.

Емоційний момент покладання квітів від імені народів Європи, аби пом'янути всіх полеглих, у тому числі Юрія Руфа, вбитого російськими снарядами 1 квітня.
Особливо болісно, адже це був день, коли я вперше відвідала Україну.

Вічна пам'ять Героям.

Emotional moment today as I laid flowers on behalf of the people of Europe to remember all those killed - including Yuriy Ruf, who was killed by Russian mortars on 1 April. It was especially poignant for me as that was the day I first visited Ukraine.

We will remember them.

Майбутнє України – це членство в Європейському Союзі.

Ми пройдемо весь шлях спільно з вами.

Рада знову бачити друга @r_stefanchuk.

Співпраця між @Europarl_UA та @ua_parliament буде посилюватися.

🇪🇺🇺🇦

Ukraine's future is as a member of the European Union.

We will walk all the way with you.

Great seeing my friend @r_stefanchuk again.

Cooperation between @europarl_en & @ua_parliament will only grow stronger.

Добре повертатися до України.

До цих хоробрих людей, які надихнули світ.
До героїв, які відмовляються здаватися.
До тих, хто пожертвував усім заради наших цінностей.
До європейців, чий дім у нашому Європейському Союзі.

🇪🇺🇺🇦

Good to be back in Ukraine.

With those brave people who inspired the world.
With those heroes who refuse to give in.
With those who sacrificed everything for our values.
With Europeans whose home is in our European Union.

Appalled by the sentencing of Nobel Peace Prize and Sakharov Prize laureate Ales Bialiatski to 10 years in prison.

Politically motivated rulings against Bialiatski and @viasna96 activists are an insult to justice.

I call for their release. @europarl_en supports a free Belarus.

Europe will continue setting global standards.

Our way of open societies and open markets works.

Next steps must focus on:
- Accelerating the green transition
- Strengthening the EU's strategic autonomy
- Financing key investments and reforms

Time to act 🇪🇺

Once again, Europe is setting the standard on a global level.

Deal reached between @europarl_en and @sweden2023eu on green bonds is an important step in speeding up the green-transition.

Congratulations @paultang and all negotiating team for this achievement.

Deeply saddened by the terrible train crash near Larissa in Greece.

My sincere condolences to all victims, their families and friends.

Grateful to all rescuers and medical staff on site.

Our thoughts are with the people of Greece after this tragic event.

Russia's war on Ukraine had a devastating impact on food supply globally.

We must ensure continued and improved safe passage of grain & other food products from and to Ukraine.

With @WFPChief David Beasley, I spoke on the importance of extending the Black Sea Grain Initiative.

I welcome the Windsor Framework on the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland.

Important for all of us to close this chapter.

In line with our commitment to protect the Good Friday Agreement and the EU's single market.

@europarl_en will play its part in implementing the deal.

As we kick off European Parliamentary Week, it was a pleasure to meet @Sverigesriksdag Speaker @andreasostgote.

Today, @Europarl_sv & @sweden2023eu welcome 111 Members from 39 chambers across 29 countries.

To exchange ideas and find best solutions for our economy 🇪🇺🇸🇪

Europe can be proud of the choices it made.

We resisted, we confounded cynics & came together like never before.

But we must still do more.

To support Ukraine & to help our citizens address high inflation, costly energy prices & painful household bills. https://n.respublicae.eu/i/broadcasts/1kvKpmnvwXQGE

Saddened by the passing of Betty Boothroyd, the first and only woman Speaker of the @HouseofCommons.

A fair, impartial and no nonsense woman.

As she rightly said: "I think women should have confidence in themselves, and just keep going on."

There are plans on the table to update & reform Europe's asylum & migration rules. Member States should not leave them there. 

We can be fair & humane with those in need of protection, firm with those who are not and strong against traffickers exploiting the most vulnerable. 2/2

The tragedy off the coast of Crotone leaves me angry and heartbroken.

Another shipwreck claims the lives of babies, women, men.

Member States must step up and find a way forward. Now.

The EU needs common, updated rules that allow us to address migration challenges. 1/2
