I'm in Chișinău 🇲🇩 for the EU-Eastern Neighborhood Parliamentary Assembly (Euronest) with @europarl_en delegation.
Most important topics of the Assembly - economic & energy security, civic resilience, and momentum for enlargement in light of Russia's war in Ukraine.

I would like to correct President @EmmanuelMacron.
*Putin's Russia* does need to be defeated and crushed.
Non-aggressive and democratic Russia must be born.
This is the only way to ensure sustainble peace and security in Europe.

In light of the war in Ukraine, we see how history is being weaponized daily.
Therefore, bridging the gap between Eastern and Western European remembrance is important as ever.
This is a small but significant victory for common European remembrance. 2/2

Yesterday the Conference of Presidents of @europarl_en approved the proposal of 65 MEPs to set up a European day of commemoration for soviet deportations.
No political group raised objections.
Special thanks goes to @EP_President @RobertaMetsola for her unrelenting support. 1/2

After more than a century-long occupation by Tsarist Russia, Lithuanian nation restores its statehood from the ashes.
I'm grateful to my grandparents' generation for laying the foundations of the modern Lithuanian state, which is now a member of EU and NATO. #V16 🇱🇹

Today @europarl_en adopted an urgency resolution on the dire condition of @SaakashviliM
The text is clear - Bidzina Ivanishvili is responsible "for ongoing detention [of Saakasvhili] as part of a personal vendetta"
Georgia needs #deBidzinization & #deoligarchization

Дякую, Україно, for defending peace!
A year ago you and your people did not get scared fending off terrorist Russia. We shouldn't get scared either.
There is still a lot to do so that another anniversary would not be needed. We are working on it.

Democracies will prevail against Putin's and Lukashenko's dictatorships without Orban, because that is what the Ukrainians and Belarusians are fighting for.
However, this Hungarian Foreign Affairs Minister will remain in the darkest pages of European history.

Remember!
@EPPGroup
RT @Roger_Moorhouse: On this Day - 1940, Soviet forces began the first large-scale deportation of Poles from occupied eastern Poland, removing around 140,000 people in horrific conditions. The deportees were taken primarily to labour camps in Kazakhstan and Siberia. #Kresy

President of Ukraine, Mr @ZelenskyyUa, addressed the @europarl_en today.
He is not only the President of Ukraine, but the President of the Free World. He is also the President of free Russians, who believe that someday their country can be different.

RT @Petro_Beshta: Magnitude of Lithuania's support of Ukraine goes beyond all limits. The goal to raise 5⃣ million euros in 4⃣ weeks for radars to protect 🇺🇦 sky, was reached by our 🇱🇹 friends just within 4⃣ days! And yet Lithuania keeps the pace continuing RADAROM campaign.
Kartu iki pergalės!

Sending promises of "someday" to Ukraine is not acceptable.
We need to help them expel Russia from its soil not someday, but this year.
We need to start Ukraine's EU membership negotiations not someday, but this year.
Ukraine needs us and we also need Ukraine.

President @SaakashviliM's condition has reached a critical state and is deteriorating by the minute.
I call on Georgian authorities to allow him to be immediately transferred to the ICU to receive necessary treatment. There is no more time for political deliberations.
