We need to continue supporting Moldova, as I said earlier in the #EPlenary. The EU security hub is an essential component of keeping #Moldova's and the EU's borders secure. We also need to liberalise trade with Moldova to ensure a smoother EU integration process.

The quickest & safest way to peace in Europe is by providing immediate & consistent military support to #Ukraine, I said today in #EPlenary. We should not be afraid of Russia’s defeat, we should be afraid of Russia’s victory. We can better protect our values if Russia is defeated

By swiftly approving the financial support in both @europarl_en and @EUCouncil, taking over the @EU_Commission proposal, we ensure that money will be disbursed to Moldova when it is most needed, by the end of the year. 3/3

Moldova urgently needs additional EU financial support to ensure its economic stability, to help its people tackle inflation and high energy prices caused by Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine, and to continue the EU Integration process. 2/3

I just presented in @EP_Budgets my Draft Opinion on the €145 million Macro-Financial Assistance (MFA) for the Republic of #Moldova. I recommend to my colleagues in @EP_Budgets and @EP_Trade that we adopt this MFA as swiftly as possible, without tabling any amendments. 1/3

4. Quickest way to lasting peace is Europe is support and delivery of everything needed to Ukraine.

5. We are being led by a generation that was educated in peace times, not prepared to lead and make decisions in times of war.
We need to adapt and change our mindset.

3. Crimea is essential for Ukrainian security. Ukraine needs to recover Crimea to be safe. It will never be safe with Russian army in Crimea.
Not even Putin can sell to his people the loss of Crimea. (3/4)

2. Had we defended and supported #Ukraine properly after 2014 and sanctioned Russia back then, we would not be in the situation we are in now. (2/4)

Many good ideas at the presentation of Timothy Garton Ash @fromTGA newest book last night in Brussels.

Ideas below:

1. Already in 1994 Putin spoke publicly about the annexation of #Crimea. What came later was just excuses. Plan and ambition existed long before. (1/4)

More EU help for Moldova: here are the 7 main points of the statement we adopted today in the EU - Moldova Parliamentary Association Committee meeting in Brussels:

1.We must start the accession negotiations with Moldova as soon as the 9 reforms we requested are fulfilled. 1/4

EU Commission must create a special @eu_near unit devoted to work with #Moldova because Moldova is as important as Ukraine for our security and everything we offer to Ukraine must also offer to Moldova – I said today ahead of the EU - Moldova Parliamentary Association Committee.

Moldova’s stability is very important for the safety of the whole European Union. This is why we must increase our financial and technical help for #Moldova and its citizens to help them overcome the challenges they are facing and continue the #EU integration. 🇲🇩 🇪🇺

EU institutions must create a separate regime of sanctions targeting oligarchs recognised for their attempts to corrupt and destabilize #Moldova. We must implement the same type of sanctions we adopted for the Russian individuals responsible for the war in Ukraine.

EU institutions must start accession negotiations with Moldova as soon as possible, after the fulfilment of the 9 reforms we have requested, I said now in a press conference with @MihaiPopsoi, ahead of the EU - Moldova Parliamentary Association Committee tomorrow in @europarl_en.

Ukraine has the right to fight for its territory and we have an obligation to continue supporting its fight for freedom as long as needed.
The @EU_Commission disbursed an additional €1.5 billion to Ukraine to contribute to its macroeconomic stability.
