Seit Tag Eins des brutalen russischen Angriffskriegs steht Österreich an der Seite der ukrainischen Bevölkerung.

Als Zeichen der Solidarität erstrahlt heute das Burgtor in den ukrainischen Landesfarben. Wir werden die Menschen in der #Ukraine auch in Zukunft unterstützen!

Outrageous scenes in Sofia where our EU office has been vandalised.

In Europe, we exercise the right to demonstrate in a peaceful way. Violence and vandalism are never the answer.

365 days since Hamas attacked Israel.

▪️ Israelis are traumatised by the slaughter, torture and sexual violence of 7 October
▪️ Hostages are still held captive
▪️ Palestinians in Gaza are facing starvation & disease
▪️ Too many civilians have lost their lives

This has to stop!

Humanity at the crossroads: Autonomous weapons systems will soon fill the world’s battlefields. We have to take action & agree on int‘l rules to ensure that decisions over life or death are never taken by machines!

On this day in 1938, the November Pogrom was launched against Jews. 85 years later, we are confronted with a new wave of #antisemitism.

It’s a stark reminder of our responsibility to ensure that Jewish people around the world can live in safety.
