Today we #OrangeTheWorld and reiterate our resolve to protect women from abuse and murder.

As @Europarl_EN marks #ViolenceAgainstWomen Day, we call for stronger protection and further convictions of offenders.

Women must never be targeted simply for being women.

@CRL_Airport @askryanair the luggage of the flight FR 9327 Helsinki-Brussels Charleroi was not delivered on 6.01.24 night. I reported the lost luggage at Lost & Found but did not receive a copy of my report nor the number to track the luggage, as legally required. What do I do?

@DaveKeating Parliament also decides on issues such as visa liberation and EU legislation that matters to Qatar. Not only political resolutions.

[Marcel H. Van Herpen @MarcelHVanHerpe]

The difference between East and West Europe? In Eastern Europe people over 45 years still remember what it means to live in the grey, joyless and unfree satrapies of Moscow.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Our @Europarl_EN stands firmly against corruption.

At this stage, we cannot comment on any ongoing investigations except to confirm that we have & will cooperate fully with all relevant law enforcement & judicial authorities.

We'll do all we can to assist the course of justice.

Hard to describe just how disturbing this is.

Two decades ago, I asked Russian investigative journalist & human rights defender Anna Politkovskaya how she could keep doing what she did. For her reporting on abuses by Russian forces in the 2nd Chechen War, the military detained & beat her & subjected her to mock execution. 1/

Now, if anyone ever plans to use the phrase "the Baltic countries joined the USSR in 1940" again, please follow the situation in Eastern Ukraine closely. Donbas is currently in the process of joining the Russian Federation in the same way.

[WarTranslated @wartranslated]

They allegedly called the son of Putin's press-secretary Dmitry Peskov, Nikolay, and asked him why he did not respond to the military commissariat summons 😂

Can't prove it's him but the tone of voice is really similar.

Buryatia reports mobilization hell - people are being taken from out of beds, it will soon look during WWII with only females, infants and seniors in most villages.

Russians are attacking Moldova, as feared.

[Henry Foy @HenryJFoy]

Explosions hit security services building in Moldova's Russian-controlled separatist region of Transnistria, bordering Ukraine, days after Moscow warned that it could be dragged into Putin's invasion of the country https://t.co/vOReBsfFaq
