We must be prepared for Putin to attack Ukraine. We learned in 2014 that he is capable of anything. But history has shown that appeasement does not lead to peace. The West has a strong hand and we must show Putin we are willing to call his bluff. No more Munich, no more Yalta.

Early this morning, Russia launched a full-scale invasion into Ukraine. Putin’s aim is clear, the end of Ukraine as an independent and democratic state. This is the darkest moment for Europe since WWII.

Yesterday, Denmark and the Netherlands made a historic decision to donate up to 61 F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. And today @ZelenskyyUa spoke in Copenhagen to thank the people of Denmark for their support. I hope other Allied nations will follow suit. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦🇩🇰

Det vil aldrig lykkes Putin at underkue det ukrainske folk. Men det er op til lederne i Washington D.C. og i hele Europa at sikre, at Ukraine vinder freden. På begge sider af Atlanten må lederne holde kursen og sikre, at denne vision bliver en realitet.

Vesten skal holde øje på målet: Ukraine skal vinde, genopbygges og blomstre

Det vil aldrig lykkes Putin at underkue det ukrainske folk. Men det er op til lederne i Washington D.C. og i hele Europa at sikre, at Ukraine vinder freden.

Disturbing escalation by Russia-backed rebels in Donbas. Attacking multiple positions and using weapons banned by the Minsk agreement This aggression must be condemned by US and EU, and Putin must understand that only path to better West/Russia relations runs through #Ukraine

I welcome the agreement on Swedish NATO accession. This is a historic moment for security in Northern Europe. It again shows the strategic disaster of Putin’s war. He wanted @NATO weakened. Instead, it is stronger, more unified, and larger than ever.

The JIT is clear: #MH17 and 298 innocent people on board were murdered by a Russian missile. Not to mention the 10,000+ people killed in the Donbas war fomented by Moscow. The West must not consider normalising relations until Russia changes its behaviour.

Investigators identify Russian military unit in downing of flight MH17

Dutch prosecutors identified a Russian military unit on Thursday as the source of the missile that shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over eastern Ukraine in 2014, killing all 298 people on board.

To stop Putin’s war, Europe must end all import of Russian oil and gas immediately.

If we’re buying Putin’s oil, we’re paying for his war crimes

The EU should immediately end the import of all Russian oil and gas.

Nobody is above the law and justice must be done. But this week's charges against former Ukrainian President @poroshenko have a worrying tinge of the selective justice and political retribution that belong to #Ukraine 's past, not its future.

Important article from @BBC on the dire situation facing the population of Nagorno-Karabakh. The international community must push Azerbaijani authorities to lift the blockade immediately. If not, a humanitarian crisis will become a catastrophe.

Putin plays a bad hand well — but his tactics only work if we fold. Time for @NATO to call his bluff. We cannot give Putin the whip hand over European security, nor a de facto veto on Ukraine & Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic ambitions. My oped @POLITICOEurope

On Russia, NATO cannot fold

Putin has tried this before, but we cannot negotiate down the barrel of a gun.

President Macron’s re-election is good news for France, Europe, and the world. Only the Kremlin would have been celebrating a Le Pen victory. Europe must now ban all import of Russian oil and gas. If we are united, we can force Putin to end his barbaric war.
