Security guarantees that only exist on paper are worthless. Europe must show that it is ready to protect peace. With European soldiers standing shoulder to shoulder with their Ukrainian colleagues, to keep Russia from ever invading again.

In 1994 Ukraine gave away its nuclear weapons in exchange for guarantees from the USA and Russia. 20 years later, the Russians invaded and annexed Crimea. Another 8 years later, they returned in a full-scale invasion.

We have to ensure that Ukraine is strong in the present moment. This requires concrete action: establishing a no‑fly zone over Western Ukraine, transferring the €300 billion in frozen Russian assets, and setting Ukraine on the path toward EU membership by 2030.

At the same time, it is important for Ukraine to know what comes after a potential truce: the reconstruction, and guarantees of lasting peace. Before we turn to discussions about Ukraine’s future, Kyiv must have a clear understanding of the support it can count on from Europe and the US.

Last edit:   When the USA bows, Putin bombs While Trump was rolling out the red carpet for Putin, Ukranian civilians were suffering under the largest airstrike of the war   Only when Putin understands that he will gain nothing through war and terror will Ukraine and Europe truly be at peace

Last night, Russia sent drones into Polish airspace. They were shot down. We see a pattern: the hack of Von Der Leyen's plane, the attack on the EU embassy in Kyiv, and now drones invade EU airspace. The longer we wait without acting the higher the costs becomes.

Six months ago, Volt called for a no-fly zone in Western Ukraine to intercept Russian air attacks close to NATO airspace that endanger civilians. Last night's incident shows exactly why this is needed.

The EU and the Ukrainian people both want reforms. If the EU doesn't trust the government, it should turn to civil society. Read the full article by @voltukraine.org to understand the backstory of the anti-corruption protests: volteuropa.org/news/ukraine... 🇺🇦 💜

Kyiv on City Day under massive Russian attack! Kyiv was supposed to celebrate its City Day Sunday... But the war waged by Russia against Ukraine and terrorist attacks by kamikaze drones and ballistic missiles have forced Ukrainians to take to shelters, hiding from the air raid.

🚨Dear Volt members 💜, Ukrainians in the Netherlands 🩵💛 Friday is the day 🇪🇺 Europe Day, the day of unity and freedom of Europe, is transformed into a common coming together! 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇾🇪 🇪🇺 We celebrate European unity and solidarity with Ukraine

"We share the cautious optimism of the Ukrainian government that the agreement, as it now stands, is equitable and sufficiently respects Ukraines soverignty. The political extremes have been removed, but no security guarantees. Much depends on fair implementation of the details."

"Volt Ukraine understands the role of well-funded disinformation, attempting to derail European efforts to come together in a common defence and a threat perception. We educate, debunk, and inspire folks to come to the table, to participate in our own future." kyivindependent.com/who-is-behin...

If we want peace in Europe, Europe must unite!   Peace is our goal, perhaps it is THE goal of the EU. Putin attacks when he sees weakness. We will never have peace if we are not capable of defending ourselves

27 armies won’t cut it. Relying only on NATO? Too risky. It’s time to fight as one. As Zelensky said: "The time has come for the armed forces of Europe to be created."   Let’s unite and take action!

Europe, unite! 🇪🇺 #UnitedStatesOfEuropeNow #europe #eu
