The truth is simple.

Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia is the aggressor.

Ukraine defends its freedom—and ours.

We stand with Ukraine.

A key message from @AdrianBalutel from the keynote speeches.

[Stanislav Secrieru @StasSecrieru]

We’re seeing massive interference by Russia in our electoral process as Moldovans vote in the presidential runoff today—an effort with high potential to distort the outcome. Authorities are on high alert. Thread with instances of meddling, which I'll be updating in real time ⬇️

200 years ago today Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 premiered in Vienna.
"Ode to Joy" set music to the poem by Friedrich Schiller on unity & solidarity among peoples.
The piece later became the European anthem, because this is what Europe is all about: unity and solidarity #EuropeDay

Proudly raising our Tricolor high, today and every day!

2 years of war in Ukraine: 30,457 civilians killed/wounded, 5.9M refugees, 4M internally displaced, $152B in direct damage.

Moldova pledges #solidaritywithUkraine until peace prevails, until light wins over darkness.

Slava Ukraini!

[Maia Sandu @sandumaiamd]

Today marks two years of Russia's war against Ukraine. I thank Ukrainians for their tireless fight for freedom and for protecting peace in Moldova too.

In these two years, the free world has shown unprecedented solidarity, yet the war persists; our support must endure fiercely.
