RT @FCDOGovUK: Russia terrorises civilians in Ukraine, regularly launching 500+ drones per attack, hitting residential and civilian infrastructure.

Ukraine’s determination to defend itself from these attacks remains undimmed.

We continue to support Ukraine and ramp up the pressure on Russia.

RT @vonderleyen: Today I had a constructive meeting with @EP_President and @Statsmin to discuss the MFF.

We have clarified and strengthened our objectives in 3 key areas:

Securing the role of the regions, reinforcing the identity of the Common Agricultural Policy and enhancing governance.

We now have a solid understanding of the proposals and a clear path forward.

I look forward to the debate at the European Parliament on Wednesday.

RT @USAmbEU: Incredible to recall where I was on November 9, 1989 when I heard about the fall of the #BerlinWall.  It changed the course of history, particularly for people in the USA and the EU.  The wall coming down remains a lasting symbol of hope and the power of freedom.

On behalf of @Europarl_EN, I communicated our concerns and we had a constructive discussion on the @EU_Commission proposals on the role of regional authorities, the Common Agricultural Policy, and Governance, including the role of the Parliament.

The proposals are a good step forward and the process will continue, including with our Plenary Debate this Wednesday.

Thank you to all involved including Parliament's rapporteurs @SMuresan and @carlatavares_ps, Group Leaders and Chairs for all their work in getting to this stage. The work continues.

RT @ZelenskyyUa: Putin is in an impasse when it comes to real successes on the battlefield. The situation looks more like a stalemate for him. Why? Because for us it’s very hard, but we are at home and defending what is ours. Society defends, the military defends, the whole body of the state defends itself from this attack.

His situation is different. First, he has radicalized public opinion toward this issue through information. Second, he promised objectives he has not achieved, so he needs to show some gains. And that is why all the energy attacks are dangerous – to demonstrate: “Look, I supposedly have a plan – there we pressure with weapons, and here we attack.” And why do these attacks turn into terrorist acts, why do civilians die, and many are wounded, why are people left without electricity and water? Because he cannot create tension in our society in any other way. He understands that we have united the whole state and rallied all of Europe around us, and breaking that unity is very difficult. He is trying to do it.

Now he needs to show that he dominates. He wants to find some operations he can present as successes to his society. These are drones, or an energy attack on us, or a cyberattack on Germany, the United Kingdom, France, or an attack on choice, political choice, during elections in some country where far-right representatives could come to power – who, let’s say, are ideologically closer to today’s Putin. This is hybrid warfare. And it is exactly like that. It is a hybrid war in Europe, and Ukraine pays the highest price for it, because the physical war is taking place on our territory.

RT @ZelenskyyUa: It is not Europe that is at war with Russia; it is Russia that is at war with Ukraine – and potentially with many in Europe. We understand what they are capable of and what they might do, but Europe fears the word “escalation.” And Europeans always assume that, because they are developed states that respect law and values, Europe’s steps – any response from them – will be an escalation.

And I believe the opposite: Russia does not like weakness. Any intellectual responses – precisely the kind Europe finds – read as weakness to Russia. Weakness creates a certain Russian flavor. The Russians sense that weakness, and they want, while no one is strong enough yet to pressure them, to inflict damage and take some extra gain for themselves. In Ukraine’s direction, that gain looks like preventing Ukraine’s development, destroying our identity, and taking our land – in short, political gains. In the energy sphere – Slovakia, Hungary, Eastern Europe, and Germany as well – the aim is to keep everyone permanently hooked on their energy.

Weakness does not produce dialogue with Russia. To the Russians, it is simply weakness – and that means they can impose their narratives. That is what is happening. So, to answer the question: what are all these violations of European airspace by drones across different countries – they are tests. Tests of Europe, tests of its responses: all of Putin’s drone attacks are probes to see what they are capable of. A test of how America will respond to the current threat to European NATO members. There’s no smoke without fire, and I believe all these probes are dangerous for Europe’s integrity.
