Amidst thousands rallying in #Tbilisi against the Russian-inspired “foreign agents” law tonight, an incredible image of unity & courage.
From #Ukraine to #Georgia, this flag stands for something the Kremlin will never understand & can never break 🇬🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦

This is going to be iconic.

It was my great pleasure to cooperate with @FLojdquist and his team at the #Swedish 🇸🇪Centre @SCEEUS_UI on restarting the #EasternPartnership by the #EU.

I am arguing that it is necessary to return back to its #values and norms origins, while reshaping the #EU's approach 👇 #RoL

On 1/7, #Czechia took over @EU2022_CZ. This has happened at a time of enormous pressure, as 🇪🇺 is faced with 🇷🇺 war against 🇺🇦.

🇨🇿 performance may benefit particularly from a clear consensus when it comes to sanctions on Moscow:

ОДНОСТАТЕВИМ ПАРТНЕРСТВАМ В УКРАЇНІ – ТАК! Zelenskyy said yes to same-sex partnerships!

Офіс Президента відповів на петицію: планується розробити законопроєкт щодо реєстрових партнерств для ЛГБТ+ пар в Україні!

Вітаємо спільноту, прайд-рух та дякуємо владі! 🌈

Finally happening for #Albania and #NorthMacedonia, wonderful news!

It is our pleasure that this important step could happened during @EU2022_CZ and under the leadership of @JanLipavsky of @CzechMFA since this is a long term priority of #Czechia!

#enlargement deserves a boost!

Agreement. #EUCO has just decided EU candidate status to Ukraine and Moldova.

A historic moment.

Today marks a crucial step on your path towards the EU.

Congratulations @ZelenskyyUa and @sandumaiamd and the people of Ukraine 🇺🇦 and 🇲🇩

Our future is together.

[Fredrik Löjdquist @FLojdquist]

Ukraine's membership of the EU is a long way off, but we must start preparing right now - New Eastern Europe - important decision at #EUCO today and tomorrow. A piece on this together with @Pavel_Havlicek_ @PavlinaJanebova, @rlequiniou & @sofiastrive https://t.co/stoGYJDgar

[Agnieszka Widłaszewska @AWidlaszewska]

The #EUCO which starts today will be one of the most important ones in recent years. Much like @Pavel_Havlicek_, @PavlinaJanebova, @rlequiniou, @FLojdquist and @sofiastrive, I think it gives the 🇪🇺 an opportunity it cannot waste. #Ukraine #UkraineIsEurope https://t.co/TGKkERwvXd
