Since the war began, thousands of Ukrainian children have been taken to Russia against their will. We are co-hosting a major event this May to change that.

Working with Ukraine, Canada, and EU countries, we want to:

🔵 Bring these children back home to their families.

🟡 Make sure they get the help they need to recover.

🔵 Hold Russia accountable for these actions.

We are doing everything we can to ensure these children have a future back in their own country. 🇪🇺🇺🇦

@EUCommission So, why haven't you addressed the same issue that has been going on longer in Gaza? Or Lebanon? Or are those children too brown?

@UkeleleEric @EUCommission they are not in Europe...
Same reason as why middle east is not medlng in this Ukrania-Rusia war.
There's only one president in the world who thinks he needs to intervene in all world's problems, please let's keep it that way before the world will be destroyed completely.
(With which I do not mean I don't condemn what is going on in the whole middle east.)

@Catha @EUCommission Ukraine is not in the EU, and neither is Russia. Geographic proximity shouldn't define whether you're interested in something. And Genocide is against international law, that the EU says it upholds, and declares that its members should follow.

@UkeleleEric @EUCommission Ukrania is not trying to wipe out all Russians, as Israel is doing witn PalestiniansSo it's not genocide

@Catha @EUCommission Which is my point - Israel is acting against international law, as Russia did, and the EU feels it has to interfere in a lot more local war, but not the distant one. When the degree of breaking from Israel is so much greater, and so many more EU nations are involved (many of them directly funding Israel's ongoing attacks against Gaza and Lebanon and Iran).

@UkeleleEric @EUCommission also, it borders to eu-members. Maybe you don't know but they are seriously under threat from Rusia. So, only naturally that the EUC reacts, to protect their members.
