The @iea just released a timely and important report on energy in Ukraine ⚡🇺🇦

It paints a grim picture of the winter ahead.

But it also presents a roadmap for helping Ukraine make it through the winter – with sufficient support from the west.

More and more of the political prisoners of #Belarus are incommunicado with no possibility to be in touch with the outside world. The project of politicians adopting a political prisoner is a really important work. Happy to see my partner @orastynkkynen be a part of this. 🤍❤️🤍

[Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya @Tsihanouskaya]

Becoming a symbolic godparent to a political prisoner in #Belarus is a great act of solidarity. I am grateful to the 400+ politicians who joined @LiberecoPHR's initiative so far, including the latest—@orastynkkynen 🇫🇮, @pinapic 🇮🇹, @Bubendorferfdp 🇩🇪. Thank you! #WeStandBYyou

Flera EU-länder vill införa sanktioner mot ryskt aluminium.
@STnu tar upp hur nya sanktioner mot rysk aluminium kan påverka Kubal.
Bl.a. kommenterar @jorgen_berglund (M) att ett statligt övertagande kan behöva övervägas.

Finländska riksdagsledamöter gjorde nyligen ett gemensamt uttalande om #Holodomor.
Sveriges Riksdags Utrikesutskott behandlar nu en motion från @bangtsson om att @Sverigesriksdag bör erkänna holodomor som folkmord. (https://t.co/wEJjQIj2W4)

[Oras Tynkkynen @orastynkkynen.bsky.social @orastynkkynen]

Finnish parliamentarians recently issued a statement to recognise #Holodomor in #Ukraine as genocide.

As the statement probably flew under the radar for most people especially outside of Finland, I thought I should highlight some features of possible interest.

This ecocide as a continuation of Russias unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine is yet another atrocity which leaves the world lost for words. Our eyes are once again on Russia who must be held accountable for their crimes.
