A few hours ago we lost Roberta Metsola David Sassoli. A man whose words and actions always reflected his strong ideals and principles. Rest In Peace

We strongly condemn Russia´s unjustified attack on Ukraine. In these dark hours, our thoughts are with Ukraine and the innocent women, men and children as they face this unprovoked attack and fear for their lives. We will hold the Kremlin accountable.

This captures very well how the rest of the world looks at the war in Ukraine and offers a healthy lesson about perspective.

A few hours ago, the EU Ambassador in #Sudan was assaulted in his own residency. This constitues a gross violation of the Vienna Convention. Security of diplomatic premises and staff is a primary responsibility of Sudanese authorities and an obligation under international law.
