The blue and yellow of Ukraine. The colours of resistance against imperialism. On the eve of this grim anniversary, they adorn our building as a symbol of our unflinching support for the Ukrainian people. Our neighbours, partners, and future EU members.

First they came for Alexei Navalny. Now they come for his lawyers with sentences of years in a penal colony. Russia’s relentless crackdown on political opposition and its persecution of political prisoners is horrendous and should not be tolerated.

Merci 🇫🇷, obrigado 🇵🇹! After Spain activated the #EUCivilProtection Mechanism in response to the devastating floods, Portugal and France swiftly stepped in. Over 150 team members and 60 vehicles worked tirelessly with Spanish authorities to clear debris, pump water, and help communities recover.
