Tonight, we adorn our European institutions with the colours of Ukraine.
Two colours, carrying the spirit of courage.
Two colours, burning with resistance.
Four years into Russia’s full-scale war, these colours are shining brighter than ever

After four years of war, 2026 must be the year the aggression on Ukraine comes to an end. Ukrainians continue to show incredible resilience while facing constant brutality.

On #RedHandDay, 🇵🇹 deplores use of child soldiers.
From Africa to Middle East, from forgotten conflicts to headline wars, children are still being forced to fight battles that are not theirs.
Nour, Joelle, Andriy, & thousands + children, belong in schools, not on battlefields.
