Honoured to be in Kyiv on my first day as EU Commissioner for Enlargement w/ PEC @antoniolscosta and HRVP @kajakallas

We are here with a powerful message: Ukraine you can count on Europe’s unwavering and strong support on your path to freedom, peace and a fully European future.

A transformator, destroyed by russian strikes, displayed in Kyiv, reminding everyone of the critical energy situation

76 workers were injured in the attack, while 4 died. They won't be forgotten

🇪🇺 stands with 🇺🇦, helping to re-establish more than 2.5GW of electricity by winter

❗️Ukrainian women and children, (including ethnic Hungarians) out on the street in #Hungary after being evicted from shelter. Under a government decree, only refugees from “Ukrainian territories affected by war operations” are entitled to state accommodation since August 21.

[Ukraine / Україна @Ukraine]

With 1250 square kilometers of the #Kursk region under control, Ukraine's Defence Forces still have not found a single red line. The search operation continues.

[GAU @deaidua]

Unbelievable. According to FAZ research, Germany's Minister of Finance, with the support of the Chancellor, ordered a freeze on additional military aid to #Ukraine. No money for the next few years; only aid that has already been announced is allowed to be financed and delivered.

In a letter obtained by the FAZ, Germany's Finance Minister Christian Lindner describes that the Ukraine aid is to be financed via the $50 billion package recently agreed by the G7, which is covered by the interest on frozen Russian assets. This is (unfortunately) not the first time we have heard about this.

One source reports that, for example, an available IRIS-T fire unit could not be financed recently because the lockdown was already in effect. Diehl Defence was able to offer a fire unit immediately after the devastating Russian bomb attack on a children's hospital in Kyiv in July because another customer wanted to forego the delivery in favour of Ukraine. However, the money was not approved — against the wishes of Defence Minister Boris Pistorius.

Unfortunately, this confirms my suspicions from July... now we know why Norway is financing the next IRIS-T SLM firing unit with ~ €86 million via the IAAD, which will be delivered in autumn. But that makes no sense! This is already promised aid?! Shouldn't this not be allowed to be financed?

According to the source, there was a major dispute within the government after the lockdown was announced. The Ministry of Defence (Pistorius), the Foreign Office (Baerbock) and the Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (Habeck — also Vice Chancellor) did not agree with it at all.

According to the FAZ research, the funds for 2024 have already been fully bound (already known) and the planned €4 billion for 2025 are already overbooked. Only €3 billion is planned for 2026 and currently €0.5 billion for 2027 and 2028. Meaning → No new pledes possible.

I'm speechless.

I would like to address the recurring question of those “ordinary Russians” who “shouldn’t be sanctioned”.🧵1/7

Gut wrenching visit by 🇪🇺 Ambassadors to Okhmatdyt children’s hospital - site of latest Russian terror & destruction in Kyiv.. Sight of mothers with kids - oncological patients - receiving treatment in parking lot after direct hit by RU missile on hospital makes one gasp 4 air!

[Radek Sikorski @radeksikorski]

The danger is much closer than many of us in Europe want to admit. A stray Russian missile crashed 10 kilometers from my house, only 4-hour drive from Berlin.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

We're rallying the financial firepower to help Ukraine resist & recover.

€1.5 bn proceeds of immobilised Russian assets will become available in July.

Another €1.9 bn will come this month from #UkraineFacility.

And we're helping attract investments. https://t.co/YabYczYr8F

A Ukrainian soldier after Russian captivity.

Now compare this with what Russian POWs look like as they get back home from Ukraine.

This is insane.

[Dmytro Kuleba @DmytroKuleba]

Putin may spread any lies, but here are his actions. Barbaric war crimes against civilians.

Large shopping mall in Kharkiv. Saturday. Heinous strike to ensure maximum casualties. He can’t occupy Kharkiv, hence he tries to kill it.

There are two ways for Ukraine’s partners to prevent such strikes.

First: more “Patriots” and other air defense systems for Ukraine.

Second: Ukraine shooting down Russian military aircraft before they drop bombs on Kharkiv and other cities and communities.

Provide Ukraine with additional air defense and support Ukrainian strikes on military targets in Russia. Act now.

[Simon Shuster @shustry]

Horrifying to see this Russian attack on the Vivat printing house in Kharkiv. Among the best in Ukraine, Vivat bravely continued to operate during the full scale invasion and now needs a lot of support. My deepest condolences to the families, friends and colleagues of the victims

[Katarina Mathernova 🇪🇺 @kmathernova]

Air defence is urgently needed to help against Russia attacking & killing civilians! Condolences to all families of the latest victims.

NEW from @georgewbarros: Current US policy prohibiting Ukraine from using US-provided weapons in the territory of Russia is severely compromising Ukraine's ability to defend itself against the renewed cross-border invasion Russia has recently launched in Kharkiv Oblast. (1/4)

But but but ‘NATO expansion’ but but but ‘all Ukrainians are Nazis’ but but but ‘proxy war’ but but but ‘money laundering’ but but but ‘Ukrainian aggression’.

They’ve been saying this out loud and clear - THIS WAR IS ABOUT THE COMPLETE ELIMINATION OF UKRAINE AS A NATION.

The more vocal Russians are about this, the more funny (or should I say, sickening and enraging) it is to see paid Kremlin stooges and useful idiots spinning around with their mental gymnastics to making lame-ass attempts to justify what is simply the biggest European war of conquest since WWII.

[Oleksandr Kubrakov @OlKubrakov]

These pictures show 160 tons of destroyed Ukrainian grain. The grain was in transit to the port of Gdansk and then to other countries.

The fourth case of vandalism at Polish railway stations. The fourth case of impunity and irresponsibility.

How long will the government and the Polish police allow this vandalism to continue? Once again, all these agricultural products are transported in sealed railcars and are in transit to other countries. We are strictly following the law. And you?
