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.

@ajimayer The argument was not neutrality: According to Austrian Defence Minister Tanner, the greatest danger is that the war could spread to Europe, which would not only be a matter of conventional war but also of an interplay with hybrid warfare and an increase in migration in general.

The Nordic-Baltic region (with 🇫🇮🇸🇪 in NATO) can and will become a model of security and economic development for the whole continent and a strong stabilizing force for the EU.
Thanks to my co-panelists @davidmcallister , @MCederfelt, @tomvdkendelaere for a great debate. [5/5]

4. Strong EU requires strong @NATO, therefore, more investments into the Alliance are needed.
Sweden and Finland's membership in NATO will even more so unite both sides of the Baltic Sea - that’s an incredible collective success. [4/5]

2. Continued maximum containment of Putin (sanctions, isolation, special tribunal for crimes of aggression), deputinization, and a new EU strategy towards Russia.
3. Re-evaluation of Soviet crimes. Historical manipulation is an important part of Putin's hybrid war. [3/5]

1. Ukraine's victory asap (more weapons, solid reconstruction plan, EU and NATO memberships).
War in Ukraine is dangerous for the entire continent, not just the CEE region. Europe is as secure as are secure all its corners. [2/5]

A difficult & painful time for 🇨🇿 is over, when the country's highest offices were filled with the past, the stench of the Kremlin, corruption, & anti-Europeanism.
Congratulations to all my Czech friends & to all Europeans!

On #HolocaustRemembranceDay we bow our heads to the millions of people lost to the ideology of hatred.
Crimes of totalitarian regimes that go unpunished breed new ones, unconvicted criminals come back through other generations. Justice must be served, always.

40 years ago, on January 13, 1983, the European Parliament adopted its first resolution condemning the occupation of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania by the Soviet Union.
Today, we commemorate this event.
We will always stand for the values of democracy & #freedom.

Germany made the right choice, as I was expecting them to.
It's a pity, however, that it did not seize the opportunity for leadership.
