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.

If you were ever in doubt of Russia’s systematic war crimes against civilians in Ukraine, read the latest report of the UN Independent Int’l Commission of Inquiry: the scale, the cruelty and the complete moral bankruptcy of the Russian forces #accountability #warcrimes news.un.org/en/story/202...

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 #StandWithUkraine @unocha.org

Ongoing attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinians and their property across the West Bank continue. Impunity cannot prevail. Latest update: bit.ly/3JIro5u

The US is one thing, but look at Russia - where Putin is hard at work to reduce both life expectancy and life quality. Expect Russia to plummet further. Dictatorship comes at a cost.

Karl Schlögel dedicated his life to Russian literature and Soviet history. At Germany's most prestigious cultural prize, he called Putin "a figure of evil we were no match for" — and said Ukraine is teaching Europe what it forgot about defending freedom euromaidanpress.com/2025/10/21/l...

Putin is not only busy delivering death, destruction & nuclear threats abroad, he’s also working hard to undermine rule of law, democracy and civic rights for ordinary citizens at home. Russia is THE BIGGEST DECLINER on the World Justice Project’s 2025 rule of law index. Quite an achievement.

The #Nordics 🇩🇰🇳🇴🇫🇮🇸🇪 score top four on the 2025 #RuleOfLawIndex by the World Justice Project. Something to be proud of and to defend. But deeply concerning that authoritarianism is on the rise; 68% of all countries backslide on freedoms, checks and balances. worldjusticeproject.org/rule-of-law-...

🇳🇴🇪🇺 Norway has implemented the EU’s 18th sanctions package against Russia. New measures hit the shadow fleet, banks, energy and aim to stop evasion while further weakening the military-industrial machine. The package entered into force in Norway yesterday. #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

The inhumane practices of the russian army seem limitless. The moral decay of its political leaders bottomless. Russia must loose this war. Its political leaders and war criminals must be held accountable and punished. #StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

Congratulations to the 🇪🇺EU Council on today’s adoption of the 19th sanctions package in response to Russia’s illegal war of aggression against 🇺🇦Ukraine. 🇳🇴Norway is aligned with the previous 18 packages and unwavering in its support for 🇺🇦Ukraine. #StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

Together with the EU, Norway is stepping up efforts to secure Ukraine’s access to energy. A new contribution of USD 150 million for gas purchase was announced during president Zelensky’s visit to Norway today 🇺🇦🇳🇴🇪🇺 #StandWithUkraine #StopRussia

Another despicable russian attack on 🇺🇦Ukraine this afternoon, hitting a kindergarten in Kharkiv. What the heck is the matter with putin and his fellow thugs? The russian war economy must be choked. The responsible for these heinous attacks held accountable. #StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

Statement by European leaders in support of Ukraine, 21 October 2025. 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇩🇪🇫🇷🇮🇹🇵🇱🇪🇺🇳🇴🇫🇮🇩🇰 International borders must not be changed by force. Ukraine must be firmly supported. Pressure on Russia’s economy and defense industry must be ramped up. #StandWithUkraine www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/pre...

So, here we go again Russia….now also attacking UN trucks delivering vital aid in Kherson, in complete disregard of civilian lives and obligations under international humanitarian law. May the perpetrators one day be held accountable for their cowardly misdeeds. #StopRussia #StandWithUkraine

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado on the Nobel Peace Prize for 2025 - for her tireless work to promote democratic rights for the people of Venezuela, and a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy #NobelPeacePrice

The Russian war criminals continue their cowardly attacks against civilians. More than 30 injured in double-tap strike on Shostka train station in Sumy region today. These perpetrators must be deterred and held accountable, never appeased. #StandWithUkraine kyivindependent.com/russian-stri...

Three years ago, russia declared its annexation of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson & Zaporizhzhia. Norway will never accept this blatant violation of international law. Ukraine will never be russia. We stand in solidarity with all people in the occupied areas facing russian repression.

“Eliminate irritants” mr Lavrov? What about russia just eliminating its own reckless behavior of invading neighbors, abducting innocent children and daily bombing of civilians? Starting today maybe?

Wrong again. You are witnessing Norway’s contribution to the defense of Ukraine’s freedom & independence as a sovereign democratic state, which Russia has unlawfully attacked for more than 11 years. Ukraine will never be russia #StandWithUkraine

Congratulations on your electoral victory, dear Jonas Gahr Støre. I look forward to continuing our close cooperation. To strengthen the EU-Norway partnership. Advance our commitment to energy independence and a clean energy future. And stand united in support of a free and sovereign Ukraine.

Fully agree with President Zelensky; let putin travel to Kyiv. After all, who would want to accept an invitation from a war criminal known for serving novichok and polonium-210 to people he doesn’t like? #stoprussia #standwithukraine kyivindependent.com/he-can-come-...

Six ballistic, 32 cruise missiles and 510 drones…only the last day… How could anyone, even in their most wishful imagination, suspect putin of wanting peace? he is is a predator and war criminal and should be treated accordingly. #deterrence #sanctions #accountability #StandWithUkraine

How hard can it be to grasp? How many dead kids and shattered lives? Until stopped, putin will pursue his goals: destroy Ukraine, divide the West. Increase military support to Ukraine. Choke russia’s war economy. Raise the costs of aggression. Just do it. kyivindependent.com/russia-drone...

Visiting Kyiv today, 🇳🇴Norway’s PM Jonas Gahr Støre announced the Government’s intention to support Ukraine with USD 8.5 billion also in 2026 #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦 See full press release below ⬇️ united24media.com/latest-news/...

Warm regards to all brave Ukranians on your Independence Day! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 More #Patriot systems funded by 🇳🇴Norway and 🇩🇪Germany are on their way to defend you against russia’s illegal and cowardly aggression. Press release ⬇️ Ukraine will prevail. Slava Ukraini!

The Gaza Famine is the world’s famine. A preventable, predictable famine. Enough. Ceasefire. Open all crossings, north and south. Let us get food in, unimpeded and at massive scale.

If putin wants peace, he should really start to demonstrate it. By ending his cowardly attacks on innocent civilians and withdraw from illegally occupied territory. Today. Until then: Deterrence, not appeasement for the war criminals. #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 kyivindependent.com/as-zelensky-...

The war in Gaza is utterly unacceptable. It must end. Now. We need immediate ceasefire. Release of all hostages. Full resumption of humanitarian aid. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Great news! The EU is further tightening sanctions on russia, thus weakening putin’s ability to finance his unprovoked war of aggression against 🇺🇦Ukraine #StandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraini

Nobody should be surprised. This is putin’s russia. This is what Ukraine is facing. And the rest of the free world too. putin is a cynical war criminal. he must be deterred and held accountable, not appeased. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Seems Victor Orbán’s ban on #BudapestPride turned out rather counterproductive. No less than 200.000 people - a record - made clear this weekend that love is love, even in Hungary🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 #Europe #diversity #equality #inclusion #LGBTQIA+

The Norwegian & Ukrainian Missions to the EU co-hosted an event in the European Parliament yesterday with Razom We Stand, Corisk & the Norwegian Helsinki Committee — on EU energy independence and how sanctions weaken Russia’s war machine #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦 🇳🇴 🇪🇺

Great news from the @coe.int on the establishing of a Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine. Now let’s do everything to ensure that the Russian war criminals are prosecuted for their misdeeds. #accountability #justice

Putin and his henchmen continue their despicable aggression. At least 18 dead and 300 wounded in Dnipro. Civilians. May justice come down hard on the cowardly perpetrators. #stoprussia #standwithukraine kyivindependent.com/russia-strik...

Norway is deeply concerned about the escalation of the war in the Middle East, following the U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear facilities last night. Regrettable that efforts to find a diplomatic solution and a new nuclear agreement have not succeeded says PM Jonas Gahr Støre. Full statement ⬇️

Putin continues his murderous war crimes against Ukrainian civilians. But ignores the inevitable fact that Russia will ultimately loose its heinous war of aggression. Ukraine will prevail, and so will Europe #StandWithUkraine www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Responsibility for the unprovoked and unlawful war of aggression against Ukraine rests solely with Russia. Putin can stop the war today. In the meantime, Ukraine has every right to defend itself, incl. on the aggressors territory. Long live Ukraine. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

One year of historic security and defense partnership with the EU 🇳🇴🤝🇪🇺 @norwaymfa.government.no

Only the ignorant or naive haven’t yet understood: wicked putin knows only one language. Until met with proper deterrence, russia’s unlawful aggression will continue. And the security of Ukraine and the free world will be jeopardized. #DeterrenceNotAppeasement www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...
