[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

Here’s what I’ll say—you can try to humiliate and insult Ukraine all you want, trample on it, and grovel at Putin’s feet to the sound of jeers and mockery, but it won’t change a thing.

Those who engage in such disgraceful behavior, devoid of honor and conscience, are only digging their own graves.

They will never take from us what we have—our immense pride in how we have endured a decade of war against Russian aggression. We Ukrainians still don’t fully grasp the sheer magnitude of what we have endured—especially these past three years of full-scale war against one of the largest armies in history.

Behind us stand countless stories of extraordinary courage, military honor, and valor—stories that have reshaped history.

The volunteer battalions of 2014—men who, just the day before, were taxi drivers and small business owners—armed themselves with whatever they could find in surplus stores and hunting shops, then marched off to war in sneakers with rusty Kalashnikovs to fight Russian saboteurs in Donbas, because the regular army was paralyzed and catastrophically weakened.

The "Cyborgs" of Donetsk airport, with their yellow armbands, fought like lions for over 240 days, until the last defenders were buried beneath the ruins.

The men and women who, from almost nothing, rebuilt the Ukrainian army from the ashes of decades of neglect and plunder. That progress came with countless mistakes and met ferocious resistance.

The people who, just three years ago, signed up for the Territorial Defense Forces and learned the basics of combat tactics while holding cardboard rifle cutouts.

Those who held onto their fighting spirit and will to resist when Ukraine was given a mere 72 hours in a full-scale war with Russia. And yet, despite everything, they did not surrender. They fought with unrelenting fury and strength, obliterating Russia’s massive tank columns when the darkest hour came. The heroic defenders of Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Mykolaiv—against all odds—forced Russia into a humiliating defeat outside Ukraine’s capital and shattered its so-called "blitzkrieg."

This is the story of the heroic and tragic defense of Mariupol and the Azovstal steel plant—a saga that will be written about in books and documentaries for generations. How can one even begin to describe the magnitude of Ukraine’s achievements—delivering crushing defeats to Russia near Kharkiv, liberating Kherson, and draining Russia’s seemingly endless Soviet-era arsenals through sheer resilience and determination?

This is the story of those who, every single day, in the filth and horror of trench warfare, stand against an overwhelmingly superior enemy—forcing it, literally, to send wave after wave of men to die just to capture the smoldering ruins of small provincial towns and villages in Donbas.

How can one put into words the historical greatness of ordinary Ukrainian men—unshaven, exhausted, covered in dirt—who, month after month, year after year, endure all-devouring and all-incinerating Russian artillery and aerial bombardments, yet still manage to achieve the impossible?

They fight in the ruins of Avdiivka, in the killing fields of Bakhmut, in the mud, the cold, the snow, the stench of death, and the never-ending horror. These are the people who, despite every "expert forecast," time and again found a way—who convinced Western leaders to believe and send weapons, who discovered countermeasures against Russia’s overwhelming might, and who continued the fight, no matter what.

They are our own "Greatest Generation," and it will take us years to fully comprehend their greatness and how they have reshaped history. Any disgraceful, fleeting political theatrics aren’t worth the dirt beneath a Ukrainian soldier’s fingernail.

Good is good, and evil is evil.

And evil will never take from Ukraine what we have seen with our own eyes through these years—because all of this is so much, much greater than any immoral insults ever could be.

We need to improve public transport, adapt routes to new needs and implement a mass transit system. Malta also needs holistic planning and to collaborate closely with local councils to ensure decisions reflect what communities need. @SammutMark #EPPLocalDialogue

Malta Żagħżugħa.

Din hija t-tema li għażilna għall-Kunsill Ġenerali tal-@PNmalta li se jkun qed jitlaqqa’ fil-ġimgħat li ġejjin.

Kunsill Ġenerali li se jkun wieħed strumentali biex lil dan pajjiżna nerġgħu nagħtuh iż-żgħożija li għad irid jgħix.

@Zemploid It is a factor, and if you look at the list of elected MPs since Independence it becomes even more obvious.

PN did propose the introduction of a Robson Rotation system some time ago. Labour opposed it as they want to print samples instructing people the order in which to vote.

@MalliaTonio @markcamilleri5 @islandman58 @RosianneCutajar @RobertAbela_MT As a matter of fact he was charged in court - Magistrate Carol Peralta acquitted him.

[Karol Aquilina @KarolAquilina]

Guilty as charged. @RobertAbela_MT @stefanzrinzo @Miriamdalli @SilvioSchembri @MaltaGov https://t.co/fVnoy5AjSg

@karl_azzopardi I wonder how their mistakes always happen to be against the interests of the taxpayer

[Mark Anthony Sammut @SammutMark]

@mcaruanagalizia @Zemploid @PNmalta I didn't mean the contract would be cancelled as a consequence of the pipeline. We will cancel the Electrogas contract irrespective of the pipeline. We already made that promise in our electoral manifesto.

[Bertrand Russell @BertRidesAgain]

Listen to @SammutMark's explainer of the Appeal Court's Steward/Vitals/@MaltaGov corruption scandal judgement and share it.

Merħba fil-Parlament Ewropew 🇪🇺🇲🇹

Very warm welcome to Speaker Anġlu Farrugia & colleagues from the Parliament of Malta.

Ahead of next year’s European elections, we will continue to work together, strengthen interparliamentary-cooperation and bring Europe closer to our people.

[Mark Anthony Sammut @SammutMark]

Students, teachers and schools are doing their best. It's government which is failing in waste management. No collection of recycled waste from most schools. It's all going to the landfill.

No wonder we're dead last in the EU in plastic recycling

[George Vella @GeorgeVellaMT]

Since its establishment 20 years ago,
@EkoSkolaMalta has given students the space to be the drivers of change in the field of the environment.
This morning I had the pleasure of presenting the Green Flag Award to 39 schools for their commitment towards a sustainable lifestyle.

[Mark Anthony Sammut @SammutMark]

Great idea Joseph Muscat. Maybe we should also include a table showing how much of our bill is going to 17 Black, Tillgate, Hearnville & Egrant.

I'm pretty sure you know well.

[Mark Anthony Sammut @SammutMark]

Interviewed at @Europarl_EN during my @EPP Young MPs Erasmus visit. Government attitude shows no lessons have been learnt from #DaphneCaruanaGalizia's assassination

[EPP Group @EPPGroup]

"It's a shame that five years after #DaphneCaruanaGalizia was brutally assassinated, we still have no justice", says @SammutMark MP from Malta.

Today, #EPlenary adopted a resolution calling for all those involved in the murder of the famous journalist to be brought to justice.

[Mark Anthony Sammut @SammutMark]

Rest in peace my friend. And thank you for all the work you did for Sliema, for the 9th & 10th districts, for @PNmalta and for all those who sought you and always found you. But most of all for your friendship. Condolences to Marina, Alan, Andrew and all your family 🙏

[Mark Anthony Sammut @SammutMark]

@SandraGauci2 @Zemploid 3/3 Didn't reply to your infantile partisan comment, just 24 hrs after meeting you for the 1st time at a protest, because we have a bigger enemy to fight, and because it betrays that yr recent presence in this movement is borne out of convenience you try to convey on others. Pity

[Mark Anthony Sammut @SammutMark]

@SandraGauci2 @Zemploid 2/3 May I also remind you that I've been attending vigils and addressing protests since 5 years ago, when no arrests were yet made, when we were ridiculed, and where looking under you car after addressing the crowds was the norm, as Ix-Xiħ still had absolute power.

[Mark Anthony Sammut @SammutMark]

Thank you @EUFORES_EU for the opportunity and for being with us in Malta to discuss this crucial subject in such a critical moment.

[Mario Czaja @MarioCzaja]

Es war mir eine große Freude, heute Abend die Veranstaltung „The European Peoples Party and Social change“ der @KASonline eröffnen zu dürfen. Ich wünsche allen angereisten Freunden der @EPP-Familie viele spannende Diskussionen und einen guten Austausch.
