Ahead of #IWD2023, we move from words to action.

We are sanctioning 12 individuals and entities for violence against women & girls.

We are enhancing efforts to counter sexual & gender-based violence, to ensure that those responsible are fully accountable https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2023/03/07/violence-against-women-and-girls-eu-sanctions-nine-individuals-and-three-entities-under-its-global-human-rights-sanctions-regime/

On #IWD2023 I honour the women that are an inspiration to us all.

The women of Ukraine.

Those who, by joining the army, smashed a glass ceiling over the head of the Russian invaders,

And those who have become unbreakable forces for good, like @ZelenskaUA

To all women who came before us and made it easier.

To all leaders - in politics and society - role-models to many young girls.

To Ukrainian women who have shown unprecedented bravery.

To the women on the streets of Iran.

On #IWD2023 we thank you for being an inspiration.

Happy to brief the @EP_President about the priorities of the Children Rights Intergroup until 2024. We discussed how to ensure that children rights will stay a priority for the EU. Thank you @RobertaMetsola for making sure that children’s voices are being heard in the EP.

Delighted for my friend @kajakallas after today’s victory in the Estonian elections.

Since the beginning of the war, Kaja Kallas has been a strong voice for our support to Ukraine.

We will keep on working together: for peace with justice, for security.

Palju õnne, Kaja 🇪🇺🇪🇪

Peace requires accountability and freedom.

I reiterated the EU's pledge to ensure perpetrators of Russian war crimes face justice, to Ukraine’s Prosecutor General @AndriyKostinUa.

Setting up the International Centre for Prosecution of Crimes of Aggression is an important step.

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.

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.

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.

🇪🇺🇺🇦
