Ahead of tomorrow’s #EUCO meeting, 🇬🇪 President Zourabichvili calls on European leaders to stand with Georgia against the growing repression of the Georgian Dream regime.

Europe cannot afford to lose Georgia to Russia.

The @ec.europa.eu outlined strategic steps to prepare Europe for extreme military contingencies.

Now, the ball is in the Member States' court.

Their actions will be crucial in turning this ambition into reality, requiring, above all, a significant increase in defence spending.

Occupiers are not welcome.

Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland will withdraw from the Ottawa Convention on Anti-Personnel Mines.

We will use all necessary means to deter, defend our territory and freedom while upholding international humanitarian law.

Full support for the Sky Shield for Ukraine initiative! #SkyShieldNow 🇺🇦

1/ If anyone still thinks the street protests are just a local fight between the opposition and the government, this Russia’s intelligence statement proves otherwise.

This is direct Russian involvement in backing Ivanishvili.

My take from Tbilisi:

Georgian people's fight for freedom is a vital part of Europe's resistance against Russia's aggressive imperialism. I urge the capitals of EU member states to recognize this.

By supporting Georgia, we are helping to preserve a strong and united EU.

Constructive discussions with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Yerevan.

Europe stands ready to enhance cooperation and support Armenia's development.

A productive meeting with the President of Armenia, Vahagn Khachaturyan.

The @europarl.europa.eu's delegation expressed the committment to deepen EU's engagement with Armenia. 🇦🇲🇪🇺

War criminal Putin is having a fantastic week.

We have no clue how the so-called 'peace agreement' will play out or what’s next for the war.

But one thing’s clear: Putin is getting legitimized, his atrocities conveniently forgotten.

Is the rest of the world fine with this?

1/ Just now @europarl.europa.eu voted on a resolution on the further deterioration of the political situation in Georgia.

We strongly condemn the recent developments, including police brutality, detentions, torture, political violence, and new draconian legislation [cont]

Europe’s future is fundamentally tied to Ukraine’s fate. 🇪🇺🇺🇦

We need a clear Ukrainian victory plan - now!

There will be no strong, competitive Europe without a free Ukraine and a defeated imperialist colonial Russia.

My speech at @europarl.europa.eu today:

Delighted to welcome Verkhovna Rada Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk to the European Parliament.

It's an honour to have you with us today.

I'm proud that we stood with Ukraine since day one of the aggression.

We'll keep pushing for just & dignified peace.

And deepen our ties towards EU membership.

Happy to join the Bluesky community! 🦋
