"With one MEP tweeting in line with Russian propaganda and another EU leader engaging in dialogue with #Putin, how can we explain our fragmented response to Putin's rogue activities?"
🗣 @BeataSzydlo on countering anti-European and anti-Ukrainian propaganda. #EPlenary
📣 "It was a fatal mistake to trust Russia," said ECR MEP @JSaryuszWolski during the debate on Russia's escalation of its war of aggression against 🇺🇦 #Ukraine. #EPlenary
📣 "We shouldn’t be afraid of #Putin’s threats. The falsified referendums and attempts to integrate #Ukraine into the Russian Federation. These are signs that Ukraine’s military response is working," says MEP @vrecionova in the #EPlenary.
📣 "We not only warned you about the imperial aggressiveness of Russia, we also warned that your instruments to challenge the threats are inadequate."
🗣️ MEP @WaszczykowskiW to @EU_Commission President @vonderleyen in the #EPlenary.
🇺🇦 "We need to make it clear to #Putin and the Russian elite that any nuclear strike against #Ukraine, it's neighbours or any ally or EU Member State is to be fatal for him and his country."
🗣️ @AnnaFotyga_PE showing her unwavering support for Ukraine. #EPlenary
🟥 The message is clear: Arms, arms arms.
We need to give more weapons and more financial aid to #Ukraine.
Thanks @arestovych @FeyginMark @iponomarev @apiontkovsky @YFelshtinsky & others for your valuable contributions to our event yesterday.
🇺🇦 The 🇪🇺, Member States and transatlantic partners must continue providing military and financial aid and seizing frozen Russian assets to use for #Ukraine’s reconstruction.
🇺🇦 We #StandWithUkraine. Unconditionally.
"#MahsaAmini, a young Iranian woman, was beaten to death by so-called law enforcement in #Iran. The regime is directly responsible for her killing, as well as for the murders and a violent crackdown of massive protests that followed this crime." 🗣 @AnnaFotyga_PE in #EPlenary
🇮🇷 "Mr. High Representative @JosepBorrellF, join me in declaring what the brave Iranian people already know too well: the Islamic Republic is an evil republic."
🗣 MEP @weimers condemned the rogue activities of the Iranian regime and state of #HumanRights in #Iran. #EPlenary
🇮🇷 MEP Assita Kanko stood up for the rights and freedoms of women in #Iran during the #EPlenary debate on #MashaAmini's death and the resulting protests in the country ⤵️
◼️On 16 September, 22-year-old #MahsaAmini was beaten to death by #Iran’s ‘morality’ police for allegedly improperly wearing her hijab.
🇮🇷 Iranians protesting the abusive regime in their thousands were met with brutal police action. Dozens were killed. Hundreds were imprisoned.
The difference between 2008 & today is that now it's clearer than ever what the Russian Federation wants.
The West must continue to #StandWithUkraine. In word, deeds & actions.
We thank @iponomarev & @YFelshtinsky for sharing their valuable insight in our Group meeting today.
"People with disabilities want to participate in economic, social & cultural life like everyone else. They do not want to be patronised, but want to develop their talents and skills."
📢 MEP @GeertBourgeois on the AccessibleEU Centre in the #EPlenary today.
🔌 MEPs have just voted to adopt a report establishing the so-called “#CommonCharger” for electronic devices.
This will lead to a more hassle-free end-user experience, less waste and reduced consumption.
⚡️ Still, we need to promote innovation in charging technologies.
🪙 Offering enhanced security and ease of transaction, #cryptocurrencies and other #blockchain technologies are a sure part of Europe's future.
🪙 We're working to help bring Member States' tax authorities up to date with a fair, common tax mechanism for crypto profits.
📑 ECR MEP @j_kopcinska's report on strengthening the @ECDC_EU's capabilities has just been voted through by the European Parliament.

#COVID19 #pandemic
RT @ecrgroup: ⚕️ A stronger @ECDC_EU means levelling-up our responses to future epidemiological challenges.

"The 🇪🇺 has been building a progressive strategy to support the rights of citizens with disabilities for decades. However, people with disabilities still face significant barriers to access to education, employment, healthcare, or sport," 🗣 ECR MEP @AdamBielan in the #EPlenary.
🔌 “As we celebrate the #CommonCharger, let's not forget about the future. The @EU_Commission should only use its powers where market solutions cannot be delivered.”
🗣 MEP @AdamBielan in the #EPlenary advocated for supporting innovation for better charging tech in the future.
