‼️ Join our march for Ukraine in Brussels on Saturday, the 25th of February at 1 pm. Follow @promoteukraine Attention: The next day - on Sunday- there’s another march that has nothing to do with the real victory of freedom and justice: it calls on deweaponization of Ukraine and Ukrainians are not even consulted. Be mindful where you go!
Який насичений день: дві промови у важливих колах, і всеодно не сказала всього, що хотіла. Ну вони - європейці, не готові чути правду. Добре, хоч є коло людей, які розуміють, що куди. Історію творить пасіонарна меншість… Ну так, вона таки меншість, але я в неї вірю!
One of the first Belgian politicians who has been standing up with Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale invasion is Els Ampe. She comes to our manifestations, participates in our humanitarian aid project Ukraine Needs You, proposes resolutions on Russian war crimes and beyond in Belgian senate, and she was the one who offered a temporary solution for our office when she learned that we may lose the one that we have. Els has a great openhearted team and she is one of the few politicians with implementation capabilities! Several times, Els and her team invited us for the events of liberals. Today, I had an opportunity to thank her for everything she has done for us and present to her Ukrainian symbol of power - “bulava” (mace). I believe that people like her should reach higher to be able to make a difference on a larger scale benefitting Belgium, Ukraine, and humanity as such.
Life is a story that teaches us to fight, to be grateful and to learn to discern when to do the first and when the second. A week ago, our offices building caught fire and we had to move to Station Europe. Yesterday, the renovation works started at Station Europe and we had to move to the Ukrainian Hub at the EESC. It is the first time I visited our premises here since they were changed in September and got amazed: view from the window, space, security and most importantly - EESC team call us “our Ukrainian colleagues”. We cannot do all our activities from here, and it is not only ours but we are here as well and for that we are eternally grateful!
I don’t know whether our protests really matter but we will go out and make noise every time when it is needed to remind the Europeans that Ukraine fights their war too!
Senator and Flemish MP @els.ampe always supports Ukraine: with her resolutions as well as her participation in humanitarian projects such as Ukraine Needs You! Grateful that you are there for us, Els!
Asked Prime Minister of Belgium @alexanderdecroo for more right weapons for Ukraine, sanctions for Russia, closing representation of LNR/DNR Kris Roman. Working on all that and the meeting with his head of the cabinet!
Give us weapons, give us Leopard!!! Deprive Russia of state immunity! Freeze and seize its funds! Stope trade with Russian diamonds: they are not more precious than Ukrainian lives!
Station Europe: back to origin. PS seen that there has been fire in the building where our offices are currently located, and that we have to empty it next week anyway, we moved to the front building of the European Parliament that was provided to us by its President in March last year. For time being, you can find some of us here.
