Europeans pay Gazprom. Gazprom pays Russian soldiers.
Time to pick the side of freedom & sanction all Russian banks, as @europarl_en called for months ago. #StandWithUkraine️

We know how to hurt Putin: sanction his cronies.
He knows how to hurt us: through his far right enablers.
Very tough times ahead… and we need a much more united EU to help us through !
RT @newlinesmag: Emails and documents show just how closely Italian, French, German and Austrian far-right politicians coordinate with Moscow. An investigation by @holger_r, Martin Laine, and @michaeldweiss for @newlinesmag: https://t.co/uKcIOR…

The torture & mass murder of Ukrainian prisoners of war by Russia demands an international response.
The civilised world must send all the arms that Ukraine needs until Putin is defeated.
Sitting on the sidelines is complicity.
RT @oleksiireznikov: russia’s shelling of the prison in #Olenivka is Ukraine’s Katyn. The torture and killing of 🇺🇦 prisoners of war is a violation of the Geneva Conventions. russia is an intransigent…

With 53 MEPs we call for an emergency session on further measures against Orbán’s increasingly racist and anti-democratic rhetoric !
🇪🇺

The silence of the EU institutions, especially Commission and Council on Mr. Orbán's racist comments is unacceptable.
With as many MEP’s possible, we will ask @EP_President Metsola to call an extraordinary meeting of the @europarl_en
Enough is enough. Let’s apply Art. 7 now !

Still, Orbán continues to have a seat at the European Council table & veto rights to undermine Europe’s sovereignty…
Untenable, unacceptable, un-European !
RT @panyiszabolcs: ‼️PM Viktor Orbán's long-time adviser, Zsuzsa Hegedüs resigns, telling his boss in a letter that "I don't know how you didn't notice that you were turning your earlier anti-migrant and anti-Europeanism into a pure Nazi speech worthy of Goebbels". @hvg_hu:

Putin’s gas war on Europe should push us forward towards a real Energy Union, e.i. common policy mix, common purchase, common grids… & for real EU solidarity, the EU needs to have the competence to decide on the energy mix of the future !

Overt racism covering up corruption and Putinism…
Orbán is showing his real face because he knows from experience Europe is too weak to confront him.
How long till we cut his funding and power ?
RT @katka_cseh: “We [Hungarians] are not a mixed race, and we do not want to become a mixed race either”
This was Viktor Orban at Baile Tusnad just now, tearing into Western Europeans for “mixing with non-Europeans”
To all the Orban-…

Before the Tory Brexit, cars were waved through, now everyone's passport has to be stamped.
Truss or Sunak can't even admit it, let alone do anything about it. Blaming France for a hard border is just cynical.
Taking back control was a big lie!

Putin can't be trusted, which is why the only deal worth anything stems from his defeat in Ukraine.
The West must act accordingly & help the Ukrainian people defend themselves.
RT @nytimes: Breaking News: Explosions rocked the Ukrainian port city of Odesa less than 24 hours after Russia agreed to a deal that would unblock grain shipments by sea. https://t.co/JhZp75YAgL

Calling the war “very bad” while shaking the hand of the warmonger is hypocritical and kills European unity & solidarity…
An extraordinary Council meeting must be called to stop such behavior !
How long will we continue with autocrat Orbán sitting around our European table ?

Hungary was already actively undermining EU unity… and is now actively helping Russia !
Undemocratic governments have no place around the European table…
So we have to ask the question if Hungary under the leadership of Orbán can continue to be member of our Union ?

Instead of banning Russian energy imports, we allow Putin to bribe us with his fossil fuels.
Governments must be honest..there is a price to standing up to a murderous dictator.
Supply measures are necessary, but also campaigns asking everyone to reduce energy consumption now!

After dismantling all free institutions and silencing all independent voices inside Hungary 🇭🇺 Orbán’s next project is to destroy democracy in Europe.
Will everyone finally see him for the threat he is and stop supporting him in any way 🗣💶 ?!
RT @katka_cseh: The Fidesz majority in the Hungarian National Assemby just passed a resolution, calling to dismantle the European Parliament.
Yes, they despise democracy that much. But we…

Hundreds of brave Ukrainians die everyday defending European freedom.
How is it possible close associates of war criminal Putin still enjoy luxury holidays in the EU?
RT @visegrad24: The Russian MP Vladimir Plotnikov is currently enjoying his vacation in Venice, Italy.
Why do we still allow Russia’s warmongering Putin-allies to enter and enjoy they beauty of the European continent?

Olaf Scholz is right !
EU needs to link arms on migration, defence, tech sovereignty and democratic resilience… and that’s impossible with unanimity rule & egotistic national veto’s
A Convention proposal is on the #EUCO table @Bundeskanzler
Now act !

With what we’ve seen past months I’m afraid this is right…
Putin will keep escalating - no legal, economic, ethical nor geographical limits to his war ! - so only weapons can stop him. We need to arm Ukraine as much as possible !
RT @Halla_aho: 1/20 Russia is terror-bombing Ukraine with missiles, fired from a safe distance, purposefully selecting civilian targets with no military value.
At the same time, we are reluctant to gi…
