People mock the EU as “bureaucracy”.
But that bureaucracy turned a continent of borders, currencies and wars into a space where 450 million people can travel, pay, call, study and work almost as if it were domestic.
That is not boring.
That is civilization becoming usable.
@leon_elk Свяаатой человек этот Зелебоба! Канонизировать срочно. Белый нимб из порошка, свастика в левой руке, окровавленный топор - в правой, пачки баксов торчят из карманов. И раздать иконки с ним всем ВСУшникам для поднятия боевого духа. И в захваченных церквях в центре 10метровую икону
Do you agree that the interview of Yulia Mendel to Tucker Carlson should be forbidden for the sake of the Democracy and Free World as it is full of false information and lies about President Zelenskyy? 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Yes or No?
@kuban_republic Эта единственная фраза, которая раздражает избирателей НАШЕГО Путина, Зеленский НЕ господин, НЕ президент, НЕ человек, он - наркоман и пидорас
Now we truly have a global Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children – from Canada and Latin America, from the United States and Argentina, to Europe and Japan. Today, Switzerland and Cyprus are joining our coalition. We now have almost 50 countries standing together in this coalition – and I am grateful for that.
Almost every month, we see results. Children come home. But many more still need to come home. We must clearly document where the children are, track the full chain of abduction and the cover-up of this crime, bring the children back, and help them find themselves again and return to normal life.
None of this is easy. But it is good that our Bring Kids Back UA initiative is working. It is good that you are active – at the level of the European Commission, European institutions, international organizations, and the leadership of every country. And I am especially grateful to the First Ladies who help to secure the release of these children. All of this must continue.
From an address to the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children (2/3).
Russia itself chose to end the partial silence that had lasted for several days. Overnight, more than 200 attack drones were launched against Ukraine. Aerial bombs were used again on the front – more than 80 of them, and over 30 air strikes were recorded. Attack drones were shot down in the Dnipro, Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv regions, as well as in Kyiv and the region. Energy facilities, apartment buildings, and a kindergarten were damaged, and there was also a strike on an ordinary civilian locomotive on the railway... People have been reported injured as a result of these strikes. And, unfortunately, there are fatalities. My condolences to the family and loved ones.
We have said that we will respond in kind to all Russian steps. Russia must end this war, and it is Russia that must take the step toward a real, lasting ceasefire. Until that happens, sanctions against Moscow are necessary and must remain in place and be strengthened. It is important that there be no easing of pressure and that partners do not stand aside, but continue working together for security, justice, and a reliable peace.
A busy day ahead as Foreign Ministers gather in Brussels.
On today’s agenda:
🔹 The Western Balkans, strengthening our partners’ resilience.
🔹 Russia’s war against Ukraine, including new sanctions on those responsible for the deportation of Ukrainian children.
🔹 The Middle East, with a focus on freedom of navigation and sanctions against violent settlers.
🔹 EU–Canada relations.
🔹 Syria, including the first-ever high-level political dialogue.

Я буду постоянно вам напоминать и показывать уничтоженный россиянами украинский Вовчанськ.
Сейчас, когда по всему миру беснуются в победобесии людоеды с триколором и совковыми символами, это особенно важно.
Россия – государство террорист.
