Another night of brutal attacks across Ukraine, targeting communities, homes and 🇺🇦 spirit. Putin shows no signs of stopping. We must escalate pressure: harsher sanctions, lowered oil price cap. Comfort cannot be an option for aggressors.
Another massive Russian attack against Ukrainian cities. Russia launched 26 cruise missiles and 597 drones, more than half of them were Shaheds. In Lviv, explosions were heard in several districts. 46 residential buildings were damaged, with over 500 windows shattered. 15…
At least the Kremlin isn’t hiding its agenda—no interest in a ceasefire, only the ruthless pursuit of imperial ambitions. We must take them at their word & respond with resolve. If Russia refuses peace, it means the pressure still isn’t strong enough. reuters.com/world/europe/k…
Every tanker grounded, every ruble lost, weakens Russia’s war machine. Together, we tighten the net & stand firm with Ukraine — until victory & lasting peace.
We stand united with our European partners behind Ukraine. Together we are hammering Putin's oil revenues, stranding his beleaguered shadow fleet and blocking billions from his war chest. Only through maximum economic pressure will we achieve a just and lasting peace.
Cold War tactics aren’t just back — Russia is weaponizing them. With covert sabotage & a surge in espionage targeting a @NATO ally, Russia once again proves it’s a threat far beyond Ukraine. united24media.com/latest-news/co…
The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached intolerable levels. Estonia joins partners in calling clearly: the war must end now. An immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages & unrestricted humanitarian aid are urgently needed. vm.ee/en/news/joint-…
Last night in Kyiv, the metro became a shelter. Families with kids, dogs, and cats slept on the floor as missiles flew overhead. This is not a war movie. This is daily life under Russian attack – in Kyiv, in cities across Ukraine. Photo: Yan Dobronosov
The cracks in Russia’s economy are front-page news—in Russia itself.
Today’s Russian papers on the economy: “More & more enterprises plan to cut output.” “Russia is shut off from technological advances. It’s naïve to think everything we need we can make ourselves or get from China.” #ReadingRussia
Russia isn't taking a summer break. Its relentless attacks terrorize Ukraine night after night, leaving destruction & fear behind. Only military aid for Ukraine & overwhelming pressure on Russia can force Moscow to abandon its imperialist campaign. kyivindependent.com/fire-explosion…
I have signed a directive adding 19 more Georgian 🇬🇪officials to Estonia’s national sanctions list. Violence, politicized trials, and disproportionate punishments have no place in democracy. Estonia will continue to stand with Georgian civil society, independent media, and the…
Russia has repeatedly violated the cyberspace of 🇪🇪, 🇬🇧 & other allies, exploiting digital vulnerabilities to sow division among Ukraine’s supporters & sustain its brutal war in 🇺🇦. But cyberspace is not lawless. It is governed by clear, binding rules & every violation must have…

Russia’s hybrid & cyber attacks against 🇬🇧 violate the very foundations of international law. Each attribution sends a clear message: cyberspace is ruled by law, and all states must respect its boundaries. 🇪🇪 stands in unwavering solidarity with 🇬🇧 against these malicious…
🚨 SANCTIONED: three GRU units and 18 of their military intelligence officers responsible for spreading chaos and disorder on Putin’s orders.
Today, the EU adopted its 18th sanctions package to increase pressure on Russia: oil price cap lowered to $47,6, additional banks and 100+ ships sanctioned, Nord Stream pipelines restricted. Our message is clear — aggression has a price, and it will keep rising 📈.

The @ECHR_CEDH has made it clear: Russia has brutally violated the European Convention on Human Rights since 2014. This ruling is a crucial step toward justice & accountability - and 🇪🇪 stands with 🇺🇦 every step of the way. Every human rights violation must have consequences.
