On 23.08.1939, Nazi Germany and Communist Russia agreed to divide Europe, sparking the bloodiest war in history. The war in Ukraine is a continuation of that war, as communist crimes and Russia were never condemned. My address at the European Parliament commemorating the anniversary:

Today we officially established the Informal MEP Group on European Remembrance at our Founding Meeting in Strasbourg. The Group unites 44 Members of the European Parliament with a mission to bridge history gaps and address unresolved historical injustices across Europe.

This week at the European Parliament, our member Andrzej Halicki MEP hosted an exhibition to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising

Today our member Miriam M. Lexmann opened an exhibition at the European Parliament in Brussels to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the fall of communism in Slovakia (Czechoslovakia) in November 1989

Večeras smo, uoči 33. obljetnice, svetom misom u Europskom parlamentu obilježili Dan sjećanja na žrtvu Vukovara i Škabrnje. Prigoda da se kroz molitvu iskaže poštovanje prema hrvatskim braniteljima i svim žrtvama Vukovara i Škabrnje, kojima dugujemo slobodu i neovisnost naše 🇭🇷

Fruitful exchange with Commissioner Michael McGrath & informal Informal MEP Group on European Remembrance group. Russia & its allies still distort & weaponise history to justify aggression & threats against EU. Key issue to discuss as the Commissioner works to implement the European Democracy Shield.

A historic decision! In its resolution, European Parliament condemns the nationalist imperialist ideology and practices of the current Russian regime (Russkiy Mir) and denounces any claims to exclusive zones of interest that undermine state sovereignty and territorial integrity.

At the initiative of our Remembrance group, the European Parliament has just adopted a historical resolution, supported by an overwhelming 480 MEPs

Today, we honor the memory of the 6 million Jews brutally murdered in the Holocaust by the Nazis. We must actively resist the pull of prejudice and uproot antisemitism wherever it lurks. This tragedy cannot fade into oblivion. #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay

80 years ago, WWII ended - but not for all of Europe. For many in the East, it marked the start of Soviet occupation and totalitarian oppression. Today, the legacy of uncondemned Soviet crimes fuels Russia’s imperial ambitions. Statement by European Parliament Members on the occasion
