Neither ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆUkraine nor Europe need any frail peace deal that only whitewashes russiaโ€™s land grabs and war crimes, and incentivizes further aggression.

Russia continues to answer diplomacy with missiles.
We are determined to make that choice painfully expensive.

Today, we present our 20th sanctions package.

Sanctions severely hurt Russiaโ€™s economy.
And every sanction chips away at its capacity for war. (1/9)

Unsurprisingly, Europeans seem to prefer more unity, not less.

As usual, itโ€™s better to hang together than all hang separately.

The EU and Norway are strong partners.
And in this geopolitical environment, we really need to stick together.

From our shared security and economic resilience to our support for Ukraine and the situation in the Middle East, this matters more than ever.

Another despicable russian attack on innocent civilians in Ukraine. Sickening. The moral decay of the russian leadership is bottomless.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Eighty-one years ago today, over 7,000 prisoners of the German Nazi camp #Auschwitz, including some 700 children, were liberated by the soldiers of the Soviet Army.

1,689 days of murder, pain, suffering, and humiliation were over.
Today, we all remember. We must keep remembering.

80% of Ukraine faces emergency power cuts following Russia's overnight aerial attack, focused on Kyiv One person was killed, and another four were reported injured in Kyiv as Russia launched a mass attack on the capital overnight on Jan. 24, officials reported.

Minus 10-15 Celcius, and the russian war criminals send off 21 missiles & 375 drones against civilians, leaving 80% without power.

Meanwhile, on the eve of talks in Abu Dhabi, russia repeats its obnoxious territorial claims.

More deterrence, less appeasement.
