.@RauZbigniew: #Poland is opening its borders and hearts to the #Ukrainian refugees. The social composition of the #refugees includes women and children dominantly, but this is a challenge for us as it is hard to accommodate such a large population.
Jean Asselborn (@MFA_Lu): The efficiency of financial #sanctions only shows up after a few months. We had to adopt European sanctions to let #Russia know about the consequences of such aggression.
.@GLandsbergis: If #Putin manages to change the borders of a sovereign country, it could mean that he could do it elsewhere too. Aggression is never acceptable. There is nothing more important than #Ukraine winning the war.
.@GLandsbergis: The question is whether #sanctions can make #Kremlin change its course and at the moment, I do not believe that they are impacting #Russia’s decision-making process.
.@londonvinjamuri: Many of us do not want to believe that the #Ukrainewar could be prolonged. But if that proves to be the case, we must build unity by standing up for the basic cause of protecting sovereignty.
.@RachelRizzo: #Europe has shown immense solidarity in enforcing #sanctions. #Germany has also extended funding, but the longer the war goes on, the more important question would be where are we spending the political capital extended by other countries for the war.
.@RauZbigniew: The #EU is trying to do their best according to its own assessment of what is at stake in the #Ukrainewar. The predominant consensus is that there is a very high level of unity and understanding.
.@RauZbigniew: But after 60 days of the #Ukrainian war, the dilemma faced by the #European leaders is how to reconcile human rights and international humanitarian law on one side, and preserve the economic well-being of the society, on the other.
.@GeoffreyOnyeama: The #IndiaAfrica Forum Summit (#IAFS) process is aimed at developing a precise roadmap that responds to the priorities of #African countries. #India can share its technological know-how which will boost our substantial partnership.
.@LynnKuok: The #US has put working towards a common cause with its closest allies at the centre of advancing its national interest. The strength of the US as well as its partners matter.
.@carlbildt: If you look at the handling of the #Russia crisis, we are flying together. We are closer than in the past, covering all aspects of #security. There is a significant strengthening of #NATO and #transatlantic aspects of security.
.@RVlahutin: We have gone through multiple crises in the last few years—but they have served as great catalysers. We have seen how the #EU is shaping its response to these crises, and the EU is now at a moment of reckoning. #Raisina2022
.@RVlahutin: Infrastructure is a strategic tool & we have to treat it like that. Connectivity is not just primarily about things like railways, but it is also about the system of values underpinned by transparency, stability & the ability to make sovereign choices
With #Raisina2022 in full swing, @orfonline is delighted to announce the #RaisinaEdit— a selection of commentaries that unpack, interpret, & problematise contemporary global developments.
A key reason for the growth of the passion #economy is that it offers alternative ways of making money, innovative paths toward professional fulfilment & unprecedented career opportunities, writes @utkarsh_amitabhor-f.org/103498
Kwati Candith Mashego-Dlamini: In #SouthAfrica, we have space for #women & struggle side by side with men. #Women need to be seen as individuals. Empowerment of women is not a side agenda, but we need to focus on how we can help them have their own space & strength. #Raisina2022
.@ctgchatter: We require political will, affirmative action, and policy changes to empower #women. I believe, empowered women, empower women.
