From Kyiv, PES Group President @Luca_Menesini reaffirmed our support and solidarity with Ukraine 🇺🇦.
We’ll keep strengthening ties between Ukrainian and European cities because local democracy and cooperation are what make Europe strong.
@sdplatf0rm@PES_PSE@TheProgressives
We are in Kyiv because we believe in Ukraine and in its European future.
Despite existential fight, Ukrainians continue to deliver on EU-related reforms and are ready to open the first negotiation chapters – an extraordinary achievement!
Our EU member states must also step up their support. A Russia that threatens peace, security and the mere existence of a European country is a threat to us all.
On 7–8 November, Kyiv will host the first-ever Progressive Summit.
Politicians, civil society actors, trade unions, academics, veterans, and youth movements will join.
🇺🇦🇪🇺
We’ll be there with a message of solidarity ✊

We held a special retreat for veterans who have lost their sight.
It was important for us to create an atmosphere of trust and mutual support, as well as to find out whether the state is really helping our heroes.
Special thanks to the @sdplatf0rm and Trinity Hub🙌

Romania’s 1st round of presidential elections:
Far-right nationalist George Simion (AUR) leads with 41%.
His rhetoric questioning Ukraine’s sovereignty and his Eurosceptic stance could signal a shift in Romania’s foreign policy.
Runoff vs. Nicușor Dan on May 18 will be decisive.
Last night, a Russian attack drone with a high-explosive warhead struck the shelter protecting the world from radiation at the destroyed 4th power unit of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
This shelter was built by Ukraine together with other countries of Europe and the world, together with America – all those committed to real security for humanity. The only country in the world that attacks such sites, occupies nuclear power plants, and wages war without any regard for the consequences is today’s Russia. This is a terrorist threat to the entire world.
The shelter at the Chornobyl NPP was damaged by this drone. The fire has been extinguished. As of now, radiation levels have not increased and are being constantly monitored. According to initial assessments, the damage to the shelter is significant.
Every night, Russia carries out such attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure and cities. Russia continues to expand its army and shows no change in its deranged, anti-human state rhetoric. This means that Putin is definitely not preparing for negotiations — he is preparing to continue deceiving the world. That is why there must be unified pressure from all who value life – pressure on the aggressor. Russia must be held accountable for its actions.
Tonight, russia fired a drone with a high-explosive warhead at the shelter of the destroyed fourth block of the CNPP.
This act of terrorism shows once again the cruelty of the kremlin and its indifference to human life. We call on our partners to impose strict sanctions against🇷🇺
The opening session of the Forum is complete 🎉
A big thanks to @SDoughtyMP, @IratxeGarper, @thijsreuten, @OErnerot for joining us!
🔥They congratulated the SD Platform on our 12th anniversary and reaffirmed their unwavering support for Ukraine 🇺🇦
Stay tuned for more! ❤️🔥
Had the opportunity this morning to pledge @Palmecenter will continue to support the social democratic platform in Ukriana, at a meeting held in a parking garage while airstrikes are ongoing - the courage is beyond compare. @progresylni
On December 13, russia once again carried out a massive terrorist attack on Ukraine. A total of 287 aerial targets were launched.
The attacks targeted not only the energy infrastructure but also transportation networks and key facilities across the country.
