The demonstrations at Abotak in Warsaw is incredibly loud! Is such noise really necessary? While it's important to voice opinions, we must consider the impact on the community and women in need. #stoptheantiabortionnoise
Economic prospects often shape where displaced people settle. Observers note that Polish President Nawrocki may view the new bill through its economic impact rather than as a humanitarian measure. Helpful? The next steps after the @PolskiSenat lie with him.
After presenting legislation affecting Ukrainian refugees by @MSWiA_GOV_PL and @czeslawmroczek last week. The @KancelariaSejmu moved quickly. During its 50th session it passed a new regime for Ukrainian citizens in Poland with 232 for, 23 against and 175 abstentions.
The legislation tightens humanitarian assistance for Ukrainian citizens. Concerns around access, housing & family reunification remain (@hfhrpl@UNHCRPoland@SIP_interwencja). Research by @Clingendaelorg notes that onward migration stays limited when assistance is uncertain.
EU member states are moving from emergency measures to more structural arrangements for Ukrainian refugees. Curious to see how this shift will play out in Poland, given its key role so far. Important that we coordinate across the EU. NL views here: https://t.co/mn3ZMuq8nf
UN experts demand urgent investigations into deaths of Belarusian political prisoners. Their voices were silenced for dissent. Silence from Belarus is another wake-up call to stand with Belarussian civil society. The Netherlands will do so. https://t.co/nX8IqcJOxe
11 years ago today, #MH17 was shot down over Ukraine by a Russian Buk missile, killing 298 people, 193 of them Dutch. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) delivered a landmark ruling on July 9, 2025, holding Russia responsible. No one is above justice.
Today live from @NLinPoland we are presenting @AtlanticCouncil Warsaw Week 2025: Retooling the transatlantic alliance for an era of uncertainty. https://t.co/Qj8FztZWzx
Prebunking Alert: The elections in #Belarus on 26 January will not be free or fair. Despite what trolls & bots may claim, the regime violates human rights, silences free media, and imprisons political opponents. This is misinformation at its worst. #BelarusElections#HumanRights
The international community will hold Russia accountable for these atrocities and stand with Ukraine in its fight for sovereignty and justice. #Ukraine#Russia#WarCrimes#InternationalLaw
The recent actions by Russia in Ukraine continue to violate international law and basic human rights. The deliberate targeting of civilians, destruction of civilian infrastructure, and unlawful deportations are war crimes under the Geneva Conventions.
@sikorskiradek Good to see that you are cycling Minister Sikorski. I cycle to work every day in Warsaw and to appointments at your Ministry. Keep it going!
I warmly welcome the announcement by EC President @vonderleyen that the @EU_Commission and the United Kingdom came to an agreement on the implementation of the Protocol on Northern Ireland. 1/2
