🇵🇱 🇸🇪 🇬🇧 jets are flying side-by-side to safeguard NATO's skies in the east.

They stand ready to intercept, deter and defend at a moment's notice and are a part of NATO's enhanced Air Policing mission that keeps NATO’s skies safe 24/7

7 years have passed since the torture and brutal killing of Archil Tatunashvili by the #Russia-n occupation regime in #Tskhinvali region of #Georgia 🇬🇪

The perpetrators were not punished.

Full responsibility rests with the occupying power - Russia.

[Shalva Tsiskarashvili @tsiskarashvili]

So-called elections in #Russia-occupied Abkhazia reg of #Georgia is yet another futile attempt to legitimize so-called independence & results of ethnic cleansing

Int’l community does not recognize these “elections” & will never accept attempts of forceful change of 🇬🇪 borders

[Mariam Tarasashvili @mariam_tar]

🎉 Successfully defended my PhD thesis on the influence of recipient country on donor states’ foreign aid strategies, with a case study of US-Ukraine relations (1992-2020)! Grateful for the insightful discussions and support throughout this journey. #ForeignAid is important! 🇺🇦🇺🇸

[Shalva Tsiskarashvili @tsiskarashvili]

A flight from Moscow arrived at the Sokhumi airport in #Russia-occupied Abkhazia region of #Georgia 🇬🇪 - the occupying power’s yet another step towards the #annexation of GEO’s integral province

This is a blatant violation of int’l law, @ICAO rules & GEO legislation by RUS

[UK Delegation to the OSCE @UKOSCE]

The Helsinki Final Act underpins collective security in the OSCE region. Yet over decades 🇷🇺 has repeatedly violated it.

- Use of force against 🇲🇩🇬🇪&🇺🇦
- Dictating which alliances states can join
- Malign activity in at least 40 OSCE states

1,000 days of Russia’s unjustified war against Ukraine. 19,546 🇺🇦children forcibly deported. Families are shattered, children need to be brought back. There must be accountability for those responsible. #bringKidsback

[Shalva Tsiskarashvili @tsiskarashvili]

1000 days have passed since #Russia started its illegal war of aggression against #Ukraine 🇺🇦 causing immense human suffering & destruction

RUS must be held accountable for the aggression & other crimes under int’l law, as well as for the damage caused by its aggression

OCT 24 is the United Nations Day 🇺🇳

The @UN Charter is 79 years old today

The world needs the United Nations, but it needs strong, adequate and effective UN

Gender equality is key 4 achieving more peaceful,prosperous & democratic OSCE area. Reviewed steps at national level. Stressed that women in 🇷🇺-occupied Abkhazia & Tskhinvali regions of 🇬🇪 continue to suffer from grave violations of their rights & fundamental freedoms #WarsawHDC

[Mariam Tarasashvili @mariam_tar]

Today @WHDC addressed violations of IHL and IHRL. Russia’s hostilities since early 90s and its military aggression against 🇬🇪 in 2008 led to grave HR violations, confirmed by ECHR & ICC. As in 🇺🇦 today, accountability is critical. 🇷🇺 must adhere to its obligations under int. law.

[Shalva Tsiskarashvili @tsiskarashvili]

RUS wants #Georgia to sign a non-use of force NUF agreement with so-called republics of abkhazia & south ossetia

In fact, it’s RUS that has been violating 🇪🇺 EU-brokered 2008 Ceasefire Agreement. It’s RUS that refuses to reciprocate & undertake the NUF obligation vis-à-vis 🇬🇪

[Mariam Tarasashvili @mariam_tar]

FM Elina Valtonen addressed #OSCE PC. Grateful for Finland's strong priorities for its 2025 Chairpersonship, among them resilience, inclusivity, and addressing ongoing conflicts and crises. #Helsinki50 #OSCE2025

AUG 2008 War is a reminder of those who have suffered & continue to suffer RU brutal #occupation

16Y after 🇷🇺 aggression against #Georgia 🇬🇪, RU continues occupation of 2 GE regs & takes #annexation steps in violation of int’l law, 🇺🇳 Charter & 🇪🇺 mediated 2008 Ceasefire Agrt

[Shalva Tsiskarashvili @tsiskarashvili]

ODIHR @osce_odihr continues to monitor & document #Russia’s 🇷🇺 violations of int’l
humanitarian law & int’l human rights law in #Ukraine 🇺🇦.

Accountability is critical & it must be ensured.
