5.000 🇳🇱 citizens were deported to #Terezin and beyond, few came back. Today we honoured these and all other holocaust victims. Warm applause for survivor Dita Krausová. At the advanced age of 94, she is still tirelessly encouraging people to be more tolerant towards each other.

The dilemmas that Vd Stoel faced in 1977 - and the choices that he made - are still very much relevant today. Promotion of #HumanRights and support for those who uphold democratic values in the face of repression are part of 🇳🇱, 🇨🇿 and 🇪🇺 foreign policy. 5/5

Hungary is the only Member State not to support the EU's training mission for Ukrainian soldiers. Instead it opted for “constructive abstention”. It will not participate in the mission nor contribute to its costs.

Crucial that the EU continues to support Ukraine. At the #FAC we made two important decisions. The EU Military Assistance Mission will offer military trainings based on the needs identified by 🇺🇦 Armed Forces. This will support them in their resistance to Russia’s aggression. 1/2
