"Ukraine’s struggle is a fight for freedom&democracy in Europe. When, if not today, is the right time to strengthen Ukrainians' faith in their future in a united Europe", said FM Gabrielius Landsbergis🇱🇹 at @EESC_LT conference today on #Ukraine's 🇺🇦 #EU 🇪🇺 future. 🔗urm.lt/default/en/new…

#Putin's aggression against #Ukraine is a continuation of #Russia's blatant violations of #HumanRights & intl law, proving that its policies have nothing to do with values & principles of the Council of Europe. Hopefully, one day a democratic & peaceful 🇷🇺 will return to Council of Europe.

Today’s ruling of the International Court of Justice CIJ_ICJ requiring the Russian Federation to “immediately suspend the military operations” in Ukraine fully reinforces my repeated appeals for peace. This war must stop. icj-cij.org/public/files/c…

We deplore #Taliban authorities decision in #Afghanistan to suspend girls’ education from the 6th grade upwards. Access to education for all is a fundamental right. Taliban should honour their previous commitment to the #Afghan people to the right of education for all citizens.

Harrowing reports amass about Russian invaders raping women and minors in 🇺🇦. No other way about it but defeating the aggressor country on the battlefield, chasing it from 🇺🇦, holding to account for all war crimes and credibly and verifiably disarming it. #StandWithUkriane

Another Russian missile strike contributing to the global food crisis. Russian forces have destroyed the second biggest grain terminal in #Ukraine, in #Mykolaiv. In light of such reports, the disinformation spread by Putin deflecting blame becomes ever more cynical. #StoptheWar
