South Korea's exports to tiny Kyrgyzstan just reached half a billion Dollars in one month. This stuff is obviously not headed to Kyrgyzstan but going to Russia. The West is guilty of a collective failure on Ukraine: chasing short term profits instead of shutting down autocrats...

Congratulations to Moldova and Ukraine on opening accession negotiations.

This is very good news for the people of Ukraine, Moldova, and the entire European Union.

The path ahead will be challenging but full of opportunities.

Wishing you a successful start of the negotiations!

0/10 The Nova Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine, controlled by Russia, has been destroyed. This brings humanitarian, ecological, and economic disaster to Ukrainians. Here are some guidelines for writing about this catastrophe.

A small group of Chinese companies continuously supplied millions of computer chips to Russia after receiving them from Dutch manufacturers. The largest was Sinno Electronics which is on the US but not on the EU sanctions lists. #Dragonbear #geoeconomics

1. After a year of chaos, G7 nations and IFIs have come together to establish the Ukraine Multi-agency Donor Coordination Platform' aka "The Financial Ramstein." Ukraine, EU, G7, EIB, EBRD, IMF, and World Bank are participating. Room for future additions. #financialaid #Ukraine

[Maria Repko @Masha_Repko]

Thanks to all Western partners who provided Ukraine with anti-aircraft weapons - governments, parliaments, taxpayers, ordinary people who support us. You have protected the New Year's sky over Kyiv. It was a hell of a firework.

[Maria Repko @Masha_Repko]

@BorisJohnson Thanks a lot, this is highly appreciated, but better support the #longrangedmissilesforukraine

These things happen when the GDP is regarded as a well-being measure. 33% of GDP decline for UA will not account for loosing $4 bn weekly in capital stock before the October energy system attacks - and more after. Ukraine is paying a huge price, more than all foreign aid combined

Another day, another "I hope no-one is Ireland actually believes we are the second richest country in Europe" chart. More than three times riches that Spain. I believe the phrase is "go on up the yard".

Найкраще і найбільш ефективне вирішення енергетичної проблеми для України – ракети дальністю 800 і більше км, що дозволить значно зекономити на генераторах.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

In record speed, @Europarl_EN has just approved €18 billion for Ukraine to survive the war and start its reconstruction.

9 months into Kremlin's indiscriminate war, our support to Ukraine only grows stronger. We won't budge.

Today we started our advocacy trip to Brussels. During the two days, a group of 🇺🇦 MPs & experts is going to meet many 🇪🇺 officials. This trip is organized in the framework of our 🇩🇪🇺🇦 parliamentary dialogue together with East Europe Foundation supported by @AuswaertigesAmt. 1/5

[Maria Repko @Masha_Repko]

@DmytroNatalukha has just suggested to put sanctions on every member of russian political parties, which voted for the war to start in Duma. Not only MPs - the regular party members, schools principals, actors, corporate directors, the party's major supporters. Brilliant.

[Михайло Подоляк @Podolyak_M]

My suggestion to EU readers: imagine your city with no lights, Twitter, signal, tap water. RF does this in 🇺🇦. And imagine tens of millions of refugees in EU countries, if they succeed. You do not need to be a mathematician to calculate: helping by missile defense is cheaper.

Half a year has passed since the russian occupiers were driven out of the Kyiv region. Ukrainians are cleaning up the mess. Step by step. House by house. This will continue to be the case - until complete victory over russian darkness and tyranny.
