The devastation caused in Ukraine by the Russian Federation and alarm Putin has raised across Europe and beyond serve to underline a State regime that acts without morality.

[Christopher Yvon @ChristopherYvon]

Appalled by death of journalist Brent Renaud by Russia and reports that others have been abducted and forcibly disappeared. Journalists in Ukraine must be protected and able to carry out their vital role reporting on the tragic events unfolding on the ground #DefendMediaFreedom

[Christopher Yvon @ChristopherYvon]

Dreadful scenes and tragic news again from Ukraine as Russia flexes military muscle. Unnecessary, as no State was looking to provoke or humiliate Russia.

[Christopher Yvon @ChristopherYvon]

A great nation such as Russia can demonstrate such hell and death on people of Europe. For a nation wanting humility and understanding it is a weak nation deserving neither. Peace is the aim.

The situation regarding Roman Protasevich is deeply alarming. Will the Parliament of Belarus provide the necessary scrutiny?

Secretary General Marija Pejčinović Burić: I am shocked and deeply saddened by the news that two members of the public died after the knife attack at London Bridge tonight. My thoughts are with those close to the victims and the people of Britain https://t.co/WicgZbO0AB

@ruthallenonline @CoE_GoodGov @CoE_NGO @UKDelCoE @BASW_UK @anrurka @ChtyCommission @IFSW I thought the event was excellent. I am sorry to have missed in my comments a tribute to the 2% levy your Organisation gives to international support. I was short of time: to speak about my two years running a hotline for civil society also got missed.

[UK at the Council of Europe @UKDelCoE]

Published today by @MoJGovUK, our annual report to Parliament on #humanrights judgments: only 5 new adverse #ECHR judgments in the reporting period, and only a handful of pending older cases. Our record on addressing human rights judgments remains strong. https://t.co/J6GsuVnl2S

Baroness Garden quotes the late Jo Cox MP: “‘We are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us.’ Acting on that belief will ensure that women can play an increasingly important role in politics and in public life and discourse.”

[Christopher Yvon @ChristopherYvon]

@CoESpokesperson Tragic news. And the UK will continue to support the @CoE in confronting Modern Slavery and terrible acts of anti-trafficking along with such dreadful consequences. Thank you for the supportive message to the UK.

Language is the home of beauty and commonality. I have learned Russian, Arabic, Macedonian and French throughout my career. My family have learned Macedonian, Slovene, German, Mandorin, English. Spanish and Polish. Lots to learn ahead.
