Yes, everybody knows there is only one warmonger here in Europe. And not only is putin inflicting senseless terror and hardship on millions of innocent civilians, he is indeed also a notorious liar. May 2026 bring justice and accountability for the russian war criminals #stoprussia #StandWithUkraine
In 2025, Russia has been framing the EU and Ukrainian leadership as "warmongers", who don't want to stop the war in Ukraine. This, of course, is an outright lie. In reality, it's the Kremlin who has rejected at least seven peace proposals in 2025 alone.

Don't be deceived.

Europe means press freedom and freedom of expression. It means open and inclusive democracy.

Regulation of big social media platforms is not about censorship, it’s about transparency and accountability, equally applied to all market operators irrespective of nationality.

Greenland is an integral part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Norway stands firmly with the Danish government.

Respect for sovereignty, integrity and the inviolability of borders is the foundational principle of international law, and must be upheld by all states without exception.

Thanks to the 🇪🇺 EU Council for maintaining strong sanctions against russia. Full support.

Until russia withdraws from illegally occupied Ukrainian territory, putin’s war machine must be put under increased pressure.

#sanctions #accountability #stoprussia #standwithukraine
The Council has renewed the EU economic sanctions against Russia until 31 July 2026.

These sanctions target Russia’s financial, trade, energy, transport, technology and defence sectors, as well as services provided to Russia or to Russian nationals.

Norway deeply regrets new US sanctions against judges of the International Criminal Court.

Norway unequivocally supports the ICC and urges all states to refrain from actions that could compromise its ability to perform its mandate impartially and independently #ICC

www.icc-cpi.int/news/icc-str...
ICC strongly rejects new U.S. sanctions designations against two ICC Judges
The International Criminal Court deplores the announcement of new designations for sanctions by the US administration against Judge Gocha Lordkipanidze (Georgia) and Judge Erdenebalsuren Damdin (Mongolia). These additional designations follow the earlier designation of nine elected officials of the Judiciary and the Office of the Prosecutor, drawn from all regional groups.These sanctions are a flagrant attack against the independence of an impartial judicial institution which operates pursuant to the mandate conferred by its States Parties from across regions. Such measures targeting judges and prosecutors who were elected by the States Parties undermine the rule of law. When judicial actors are threatened for applying the law, it is the international legal order itself that is placed at risk.As previously stated, the Court stands firmly behind its personnel and behind victims of unimaginable atrocities. It will continue to carry out its mandate with independence and impartiality, in full accordance with the Rome Statute and in the interest of victims of international crimes.The ICC values the consistent demonstrations of solidarity of States Parties, civil society and all those who support the rule of law and justice for the victims of international crimes. The Court will continue its work, with all partners, to ensure the effective and independent implementation of its mandate.For more information, please contact the ICC Public Affairs Unit: PublicAffairs.Unit@icc-cpi.int. You can also follow the Court’s activities on Twitter/X, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and Flickr

The 🇪🇺EU is not so unpopular after all, at least not among Europeans 😊

In fact, EU membership is backed by 80% of citizens in the member states.

Figures based on variety of recent polls, with EU wide value accounting for each country’s population.

I welcome the decision of the Council on our proposal to continue the immobilisation of Russian Sovereign Assets.

We are sending a strong signal to Russia that as long as this brutal war of aggression continues, Russia’s costs will continue to rise.

On 7 December 1970, 55 years ago today, German Chancellor Willy Brandt knelt spontaneously before the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising monument in a gesture of penance and humility.

Will we ever see a russian president do the same in Kyiv?

This is an X-cellent decision by the @ec.europa.eu. Not about content or censorship but about transparency and fair play, to the best for European citizens.

Doing business in Europe requires complying with European rules.
Today, we fined X for non-compliance with transparency obligations under the DSA.

We're holding X accountable for:
🔹Deceptive design of its ‘blue checkmark’
🔹Lack of transparency of its advertising repository
🔹Failure to provide access to public data for researchers

Norway has added additional USD 500 million in funding for purchase of air defense, ammunition and other critical equipment for 🇺🇦 Ukraine through the US/NATO-PURL initiative (Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List). Total Norwegian allocation for Ukraine in 2025: USD 8,45 billion. #StandWithUkraine

Absolutely nothing indicates putin wants peace. Absolutely everything indicates he prefers continued confrontation.

Which is why russia must be decisively deterred, its economy choked, its leaders held accountable.

Land grabs, aggression and war crimes must never pay off.

On this day, 26 November 1942, the S/S Donau left nazi-occupied Oslo with 529 Norwegian Jews on board, headed for Auschwitz. Women, children and elderly were sent directly to the gas chambers upon arrival. A dark day in Norway’s history.

Another cowardly russian attack on innocent civilians in Ternopil, western Ukraine this week: 26 killed and 93 wounded, including 18 children.

putin and his henchmen cannot be trusted. The war criminals must be deterred and held accountable for their misdeeds, not appeased.

Starting a war and expecting to move freely in Europe is hard to justify.

The EU is tightening visa rules for Russian nationals amid continued drone disruptions and sabotage on European soil.

Travelling to the EU is a privilege, not a given.

Russia attacking humanitarian assistance is indeed outrageous, and shockingly cowardice, but sadly not surprising. Since day one Russia has disregarded obligations under international law. May Putin and his fellow perpetrators be held accountable for their misdeeds
