President #Trump says: “Stop at the battle line and both sides should go home.”
A simple reminder Mr Trump: Ukrainians are home.
Let the Russians leave — then there will be peace.✌️

Ten years after the creation of French APNMs, EUROMIL believes the legislation must now be improved and aligned with Art 5 and 6 of the European Social Charter. EUROMIL will submit a Collective Complaint v. France to the European Committee of Social Rights. @coe.int #SocialRights #ECSR #France

It seems to be the new political trend: once, being called to court could end a career. Today, it might just win you an election. #PoliticsToday #DemocracyAtRisk #RuleOfLaw

Armed forces must defend democracy, not drift from it. Readiness matters, but so do rights, respect & civilian control. Anything less is not the military we need. #Democracy #RuleOfLaw

Europe is my pride, but also my frustration. Unity in words is not enough! Action is needed. Sharing my thoughts: www.facebook.com/emmanuel.jac...

Moldova has spoken: the pro-EU PAS party secured a clear majority, reaffirming the country’s path toward European integration.
Despite foreign interference and disinformation, voters chose Europe. Now the challenge begins: reforms, resilience, and keeping the course.

The two faces of Moscow: At the UN, Lavrov insists Russia has no plans to attack Europe. Hours later, Russian bombers & drones pound Kyiv. Words for the cameras, war on the ground. www.facebook.com/emmanuel.jac...

On 28 Sept 2025, #Moldova votes in pivotal parliamentary elections.
Free & fair elections are vital for democracy and security in Moldova and across Europe.

EUROMIL joins the call for peace, security, and international cooperation towards a world free of nuclear threats. Eliminating nuclear weapons is not only a matter of global security, but also of humanity’s future.

Militairen op straat klinkt daadkrachtig, maar is in realiteit pover beleid. Veiligheid garandeer je niet door militairen tot goedkope bewakers te degraderen. Structurele investeringen in politie en justitie maken het land veiliger, niet symbolisch oplapwerk. #PersoonlijkeMening

Belgium recognizing Palestine and sanctioning Israel is a step toward justice. ✊
Thank you to everyone who kept pushing for humanity and accountability. Your voices mattered. 🇧🇪🇵🇸 #Gaza #Palestine #UNGA #HumanRights

The murder of Andriy Parubiy is not only a tragedy for his family, but a wound for Ukraine. He stood for democracy, sovereignty and freedom, values that no bullet can silence.

🕯️ On #EnforcedDisappearances Day, EUROMIL stands with victims & families still seeking truth.
Armed forces and all security institutions must uphold human dignity, accountability & transparency.
Memory. Truth. Justice.

#HumanRights #UnitedNations

Putin’s deliberate strikes on #Kyiv ahead of high-level talks in the #US show his fear of diplomacy and peace.
Solidarity with the people of #Ukraine – aggression will not silence them. #StandWithUkraine

Russia’s strikes in Kyiv even damaged the #EU Delegation.
These attacks show contempt for peace & law.

EUROMIL stands with EU staff & with all Ukrainians facing this aggression. @ec.europa.eu

De Wever trekt streep door snelle erkenning van Palestina Nog voor hij zijn regering samenroept, trekt premier Bart De Wever (N-VA) al een streep door een snelle erkenning van Palestina. De bal ligt nu in het kamp van zijn coalitiepartners. Hoe hard durven ze nog door te drukken?

De Wever trekt streep door snelle erkenning van #Palestina . Over een erkenning van spreek je niet solo als premier. Eerst debat in het parlement, overleg in de regering en dan pas uitspraken! #Democratie vraagt dialoog, geen eenmansshow. @belgiummfa.bsky.social www.standaard.be/politiek/de-...

From Washington D.C. to anywhere in the world 🌍:
Universal rules apply to all who serve in uniform.
Armed forces must always be guided by democracy, human rights & the rule of law. ✊https://www.facebook.com/reel/1864936344084947

Revealed: Israeli military’s own data indicates civilian death rate of 83% in Gaza war Figures from classified IDF database listed 8,900 named fighters as dead or probably dead in May, as overall death toll reached 53,000

Israel’s own military data shows 83% of those killed in Gaza are civilians. This is not collateral damage; it is a violation of humanitarian law. Civilian life is not negotiable. Accountability is urgent. End this.
#Gaza #Accountability #IHL #CeasefireNow www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

🚨 Famine is now confirmed in Gaza. This is not a crisis of nature but of politics — a man-made disaster. The world must force, not beg, #Israel to stop starving civilians. Silence is complicity. #Gaza #Famine

🛡️ Europe’s security can no longer depend on others. Time to move from whether to cooperate on defence to how. Strengthening European defence is no longer a choice, it’s a necessity.
I’m glad to be part of this important debate on the future of #EuropeanDefence. @euromil.bsky.social

Saving lives in Ukraine is not about stairways to heaven. It’s about responsibility, leadership, and ending the war, not playing games with people’s suffering.

Yes, let’s talk peace! As European leaders gather at the White House to discuss security and cooperation, Putin’s response is clear: the entire territory of Ukraine is under air raid alert. A stark reminder of the urgency for peace. @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu #Trump #Putin

Today marks either a breakthrough for mankind, or a crash and burn. All eyes on the White House: EU & #Zelenskyy face #Trump, with #Putin lurking in the shadows. @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu

Ukraine needs credible security guarantees. Words alone, like the Budapest Memorandum, are not enough. Any “Article 5-style” pledge must be backed by action. #Ukraine #NATO @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu @ec.europa.eu @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu #Zelenskyy

🚨 Less than 24 hours after so-called “peace talks,” air raid sirens are already blaring across Ukraine. A clear sign of how “seriously” Putin takes peace: bombs instead of dialogue. And Trump? He still says he trusts him, shakes his hand and even applauds him.
#StandWithUkraine

World leaders should defend justice, not applaud war criminals. In Alaska, applause was given to a man who would face arrest elsewhere, while his bombs still hit Ukrainian homes. The Alaska meeting offered no peace, only cynical economic interests disguised as dialogue.
