We are getting rid of Russian fossil fuels. In March, EU oil imports from Russia fell by 90% compared to the 2019-2022 average. EU sanctions against Russia and the G7 price cap on Russian petrol and related products are delivering results. #REPowerEU

Trade Agreements between the EU and interested countries in Africa, Caribbean and Pacific have proven their value over time, despite initial criticism 1-2 decades ago. The newly agreed one with Kenya integrates sustainable development commitments, in tune with latest policies.

I am already thrilled! Will be there at the performance this Friday: I love Prokofiev’s version of Romeo and Juliet, and am curious to hear how it has been revisited! Not to mention the dancing…..🙌👏👍

Good winds dear Tobias, to you and your family! It was truly a pleasure and an enriching experience having met you and Viebeke! All the best in your new pastures 🙌

Hats off once again to Joburg Theatre for tonight’s sublime performance of Prokofiev’s Romeo&Juliet by Joburg Ballet. My favourite parts: the dance of the knights and the epilogue, the death of Juliet. Stunning! And the music….❤️🇿🇦VisitSouthAfrica

It is bad news that Putin does not want to prolong the Black Sea #graindeal. It demonstrates to all of us that Russia does not feel responsible for good interaction and with its attack on #Ukraine threatens the whole world.

The immediate outcome of 🇷🇺 Russia killing the #GrainDeal will be increasing food prices again, hurting those most vulnerable, especially in Somalia, Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Yemen. Share this video to raise global awareness and end Russian #HungerGames!

Odesa’s main Orthodox cathedral. Established in 1794, destroyed by Stalin in 1936, rebuilt under an independent Ukraine and destroyed again by Putin in 2023. One of several historical parts of central Odesa, a UNESCO world heritage site, hit by Russian missiles strikes today.

Odesa, my home city, tonight. This is the real face of russia’s Orthodoxy for you, my brothers and sisters….
