RT @YlvaJohansson: In The Hague today for joint visit to @Eurojust and @Europol with @dreynders
Important efforts to investigate and punish 🇷🇺 war crimes in Ukraine a sign of the close law enforcement & judicial cooperation between these 🇪🇺 agencies
RT @dreynders: ⚖️ Travelling today to the Hague with @YlvaJohansson for our first in-person visit to @Eurojust and @Europol!
I look forward to discussing critical issues such as security cooperation and investigation into Russia's war crimes in Ukraine.
RT @dreynders: The extension of the 🇪🇺 list of Eurocrimes to the violation of restrictive measures would allow us:
✅ to avoid fragmentation between national systems ;
✅ to guarantee an EU-wide approach to this criminal offence: a same definition of the crime and similar sanctions.
Violation of EU sanctions is a serious crime and must come with serious consequences. It should be illegal in ALL EU countries!

On 🇪🇺 EU Day Against Impunity - and every day,
We cannot simply look the other way when genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes are committed.
We cannot allow such atrocities to go unpunished.
Especially the ones happening in #Ukraine 🇺🇦
