Food for thought: „the NGO sector has less political opportunity and capacity than it once had. And in many cases, NGOs have not just lost power relative to previous decades. States have clawed that power back. The result is an end to the era of NGOs“.

A 30% tariff on EU exports would hurt businesses, consumers and patients on both sides of the Atlantic.
We will continue working towards an agreement by August 1.
At the same time, we are ready to safeguard EU interests on the basis of proportionate countermeasures.

Ten days, lots of flags. Clearly too many on the cemetery in #Lviv for the soldiers who died defending their homeland #Ukraine 🇺🇦. Foreign Ministers from 🇪🇺 and beyond demonstrated solidarity - and launched the international Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine.
