At #SOTEU we honoured two powerful stories of courage. Sasha was only 11 when he was abducted by Russia after bombs tore through his neighbourhood in Mariupol. With the strength of his grandmother, Liudmyla, he found his way back home.Lieutenant Paisios led a team of twenty Greek rangers who answered Spain’s call for help against devastating wildfires in Asturias. They battled day and night, and saved the village of Genestoso. This is Europe: solidarity, courage, and unity.
