Russia is choosing escalation over peace. Today it hit a passenger train at Dnipro station, killing civilians, and struck homes in Chernihiv and Kremenchuk.
Deliberate attacks on civilians are war crimes. Pressure on Russia must grow. Moldova stands with Ukraine.

Good to speak to President András Baka in Budapest. Moldova and Hungary know from shared history that freedom is precious and must be defended.
We discussed Moldova's EU path and deepening our bilateral ties, and agreed that EU enlargement is an investment in Europe's security.

Seventy years ago, Hungarians rose for freedom and the right to decide their own future. Moscow answered with tanks, but freedom won in the end.
In Budapest today, Moldova stands with Hungary — and we keep choosing the same path: a free country in a united, peaceful Europe.

Russia's war keeps putting Moldovan lives at risk. Today, a Russian Geran attack drone violated our airspace and fell near family homes and an energy facility.
We condemn this latest dangerous act. In response, we have declared a Russian embassy staff member persona non grata.

Thank you, President András Baka, for the warm welcome in Budapest. It is an honour to join the Hungarian people in marking 70 years since the 1956 Revolution, when Hungarians stood up to Soviet tanks to defend their freedom. Moldova pays tribute to their courage.

Good call with Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD. Thanked Ireland for its steady support and the Irish EU Presidency for its work on enlargement. Moldova is doing its part to open all remaining negotiating clusters this year. We also discussed our growing bilateral ties with Ireland.

Moldova condemns Russia for perpetuating its inhuman war. Russia rejects peace and escalates, killing innocent people and destroying what others built over decades, even centuries. We stand with all Ukrainians in their superhuman effort to defend their children, land and nation.

Night after night, Russia terrorises Ukraine, killing civilians and keeping millions awake in fear. My heart goes out to all Ukrainians living through this.
I urge all partners to step up now: more air defence for Ukraine, more pressure on Moscow.

Wine is one of Moldova's best-known exports and a tradition passed down through generations. This weekend, almost 500 people celebrated it by forming the largest human grapevine, a Guinness World Record @GWR. Thank you to everyone who took part.

I condemn Russia's attack on Ukraine this morning. Its war is dangerously reaching Moldova. 5 Russian air attack weapons, including Banderol missiles and drones, violated our airspace and exploded on our soil.
Moscow is putting lives at risk across Europe and must be stopped.

Good talks with Prime Minister @PetteriOrpo in Helsinki. Moldova is doing its part on EU accession: reforming and meeting every condition on merit.
Thank you for Finland's steady support. We count on it for the next steps this autumn.

Moldova's EU accession is a security investment for Europe. That was my message at the Helsinki Security Forum.
A European Moldova secures 1,222 km of Ukraine's south-western flank and the EU's eastern border. Thank you, @alexstubb and @DSORennie, for a good conversation.

Honoured to receive the European Order of Merit today. But the merit belongs to the Moldovan people — who chose Europe at the ballot box, defended that choice under pressure, and do the hard, daily work of reform.
My plea to the EU: reward this merit. Help us move forward.

Always a joy to be here, dear @RobertaMetsola. You have been such a true and devoted friend of Moldova — and this Parliament has been home to so many friends of our country. We feel that friendship deeply, and we are grateful.
