The world is changing dramatically. Our institutions must adapt.
An important conversation with @Agenzia_Nova on accountability for Russia's war against Ukraine, democratic security, migration, the Western Balkans and how the Council of Europe is adapting to a changing geopolitical landscape.

Russia's continued terror against civilians in Ukraine demonstrates its unwillingness to end its war.
Kyiv survived another night of terror. At least 13 people were killed and dozens were injured.
Russia's main targets were private homes, apartment buildings, warehouses, and a hotel.
Decisions on air defense systems and missiles for Ukraine are needed right now, not later.
Decisions to increase sanctions pressure on Russia are needed right now, not later.
Decisions to increase support for Ukraine, including energy assistance, are needed right now, not later.
Every delay puts more lives at risk – lives Russia is so desperate to take.
We strongly condemn Russia's brutal air attacks across 🇺🇦, including the strikes on Kyiv.
Our thoughts are with the victims and their families. 🇲🇰 stands in unwavering solidarity with the people of Ukraine.

We condemn Russia’s use of the Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile against Lviv, Ukraine.
This is a reckless escalation that endangers regional and global security and further violates international law.
We stand with Ukraine and support US- and European-led efforts to achieve a comprehensive and lasting peace, which this escalation only undermines.
Great meeting with North Macedonia’s Permanent Representative to the CoE, Amb. @CecaGeleva. Grateful for Skopje’s unwavering support for Ukraine and the Ambassador’s contribution to the @coe Action Plan for Ukraine 2023–2026.
‼️We strongly condemn the latest Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine, which have caused civilian casualties and damaged vital energy and transport infrastructure.
We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims. Strikes on civilians are unacceptable.
