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.

Good to be back in Ukraine.

With those brave people who inspired the world.
With those heroes who refuse to give in.
With those who sacrificed everything for our values.
With Europeans whose home is in our European Union.

RT @EP_President: Appalled by the sentencing of Nobel Peace Prize and Sakharov Prize laureate Ales Bialiatski to 10 years in prison.

Politically motivated rulings against Bialiatski and @viasna96 activists are an insult to justice.

I call for their release. @europarl_en supports a free Belarus.

There are plans on the table to update & reform Europe's asylum & migration rules. Member States should not leave them there. 

We can be fair & humane with those in need of protection, firm with those who are not and strong against traffickers exploiting the most vulnerable. 2/2

The tragedy off the coast of Crotone leaves me angry and heartbroken.

Another shipwreck claims the lives of babies, women, men.

Member States must step up and find a way forward. Now.

The EU needs common, updated rules that allow us to address migration challenges. 1/2
