Thinking of all the victims, the injured, the families impacted, the community there, & all those who rushed to help.

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.

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.

You are not alone. Together we are stronger.

"Women. Life. Liberty."

We will not look away.

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.

Together we can reform.
