Whatever threats coming out of Moscow, foreign diplomats should not leave Ukraine. And they won’t. Russia however, should leave. It was never invited, never wanted. It could end the war by leaving today. Instead, it continues its illegal occupation and heinous violence against innocent civilians.

True 🇷🇺cowardice was again laid bare today, when ballistic missiles were aimed at 🇺🇦families like the Voronovs. Parents Olena and Artem, children Mark, Azarii Ilai and Emilia are confirmed dead, while the fate of Zakharii, Dominika, Viorika, Federica and grand child Artem is still being determined.

Deepest sympathy with victims and everyone affected by the heinous attack on the #CSD in Berlin. Europe means freedom, diversity, tolerance and inclusion. Last night’s perpetrator will never be able to change that, whatever motivation. Let’s stand firmly in support of the #LGBTQ+ community.

Today we remember the 77 lives taken by a far-right extremist on 22 July 2011. Eight killed by a car bomb in Oslo, then 69 predominantly young people murdered at Utøya island. We reaffirm our commitment to democracy, openness and inclusion, and to stand up against hatred and extremism in all forms.

While Russian bombs and drones continue to kill and maim civilians in 🇺🇦Ukraine, Russian tourists continue to flock to Europe to enjoy vacation. This is not acceptable. Which is why 🇳🇴Norway joins 10 other Schengen countries in requesting the 🇪🇺Commission to introduce new, restrictive visa measures👇

More than 600 drones, cruise and ballistic missiles, including an IRBM, fired against Ukraine overnight, many against civilian targets. Doesn’t really look like desire for peace, does it? It looks like desperation. Putin is slowly but surely loosing his illegal war of aggression, and he knows.

Putin on 9 May, after 12+ years of senseless, unprovoked and illegal aggression, occupation, murder rape, abduction, looting and destruction: «The conflict is driven by a globalist faction of Western elites using Ukrainians as a proxy.» Yeah, sure.

Norway adds NOK 2.8bn to fund the NATO/PURL initiative (Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List), which provides critical US weapons, such as Patriots, for Ukraine’s defense. This brings Norway’s total allocation to PURL to NOK 12.5 bn. But more is needed, also from partners. #StandWithUkraine 🇳🇴🇺🇦

Four years ago evidence appeared of the #Bucha massacre. Hundreds of Ukrainian civilians, including children, indiscriminately and cowardly murdered by russians. The russian leadership has since only confirmed its complete moral decay - and the imperative of holding it to account #warcrimes

No less than 107 countries voted in support of peace in 🇺🇦Ukraine at the UN yesterday. Good. With russia’s blatant and grotesque breaches of the UN Charter, it’s nevertheless distressing that anyone would even consider to vote against or abstain. #InternationalLaw

Four years since russia’s unlawful full-scale invasion. Four years of senseless killing and destruction. Four years of russian war crimes, of utter moral decay from putin and his accomplices. Four years of heroic 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 resistance, defending freedom and democracy for all of us. Slava Ukraini!

Europe means press freedom and freedom of expression. It means open and inclusive democracy. Regulation of big social media platforms is not about censorship, it’s about transparency and accountability, equally applied to all market operators irrespective of nationality. #FreedomOfExpression #X

The 🇪🇺EU is not so unpopular after all, at least not among Europeans 😊 In fact, EU membership is backed by 80% of citizens in the member states. Figures based on variety of recent polls, with EU wide value accounting for each country’s population. #EU #Europe #StrongerTogether

Absolutely nothing indicates putin wants peace. Absolutely everything indicates he prefers continued confrontation. Which is why russia must be decisively deterred, its economy choked, its leaders held accountable. Land grabs, aggression and war crimes must never pay off. #StandWithUkraine

On this day, 26 November 1942, the S/S Donau left nazi-occupied Oslo with 529 Norwegian Jews on board, headed for Auschwitz. Women, children and elderly were sent directly to the gas chambers upon arrival. A dark day in Norway’s history. #Neveragain #Neverforget @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social

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.
