- .@heraskevych stood for those who gave their lives so #Ukraine could exist and compete. Disqualifying him is moral blindness. I strongly disagree with this decision by @iocmedia. Some moments demand conscience, not punishment.🚨IOC statement 1/3 Skeleton pilot Vladylsav Heraskevych not allowed to participate at Milano Cortina 2026 after refusing to adhere to the IOC athlete expression guidelines Having been given one final opportunity, skeleton pilot Vladylsav Heraskevych from Ukraine will not be
- Three years into this war, 🇪🇺Europe still sends billions to Moscow. In the @Europarl_EN we pushed for real action, not another delay. ▪️#Oil from Russia should end by 2026. ▪️#Gas and LNG by 1 January 2027 - a year earlier than planned. Europe’s security can’t wait until 2028.00:00
- A breakthrough deal for Europe’s defence! 🤝 The European Defence Industry Programme strengthens our base especially on the Eastern flank, where readiness is vital. But Europe must not trade away its industrial sovereignty. What we build must stay under 🇪🇺European control.
- Heartfelt congratulations to the people of Moldova on a successful and peaceful parliament elections!🇲🇩 Your commitment to democracy and European values is inspiring. 🇪🇺❤️🇲🇩
- Some days in politics feel truly meaningful. Today is one of them: the Marine Biodiversity Treaty enters into force. It tells us that when we act together, we can still write hopeful stories for our planet. 🌍
- Summer holidays are coming and for many, trains are the smart choice: affordable, comfortable & climate-friendly. But Europe’s rail network is still too fragmented. The new #MFF must address this with serious investment in better, faster, cross-border connections.00:00

- We’ve just marked 40 years of #Schengen a cornerstone of European unity. The freedom to move, work, and connect across Europe must not be jeopardised by internal politics.🚨 BREAKING: Poland will introduce temporary controls on its borders with Germany and Lithuania as of July 7, Prime Minister Donald Tusk has announced.

- Hej from Copenhagen! 🇩🇰 Marking the start of Denmark’s Presidency of the Council of the EU at the @GreensEFA Copenhagen retreat alongside my good friend @MStakis🇱🇻. Great discussions ahead as we shape a stronger Europe together.
- By siding with the far right to block the #GreenClaims Directive, the @EPPGroup undermines every company that invested in the green transition in good faith. What message does that send about Europe’s credibility?
- A thoughtful exchange with Minister @Clint_Camilleri on how 🇪🇺EU investments can better serve regions like Gozo - through smarter #transport, stronger #connectivity, and sustainable tourism. No community should be left behind.
- Thank you, Minister @ChrisBonett_CB, for the warm welcome. As TRAN Committee members, we’re here to understand the real transport challenges on the ground and how EU policy can support smarter infrastructure, greener mobility, and stronger connections for all Europeans. 🇲🇹🇪🇺
