We are also due to open two further clusters of chapters in the negotiations. The momentous is real.
Ukraine will be front and centre at this week’s European Council. We will discuss its funding needs for the year ahead and how to mobilise fresh global support. This week, the EU will also provide further funding for drones and missiles. To strengthen Ukraine’s defences and protect its skies.
I conveyed our solidarity with the Ukrainian people. And my full support for President Zelenskyy as he leads the fight for his people’s freedom.
Good call with Zelenskyy today. Fully supported his call for a ceasefire that would protect global food supplies and energy infrastructure in ukraine and Russia. The war has entered a new, grimmer phase. Russia is stalling on the battlefield and striking civilians far behind the front lines.
These attacks by Iran’s proxies are pushing the region into a spiral of violence. They are destabilizing crucial global transport and energy nodes with shockwave sent through the world. These murderous attacks at civilians must stop at once.
The deadliest Houthi attack so far on Riyadh’s airport marks a dangerous escalation. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families. We stand in solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its people.
With the KIDS Act, we are putting parents back in the driving seat. And the burden of proving safety, on the platforms. Because the question is not whether kids should have access to social media. The question is whether social media platforms should have access to our children.
This Mental Health Day, ask your kids how they are. Young Europeans spend on average 4 to 6 hours a day on screens. Engaging with some of the most sophisticated technology ever created. For years, platforms have been playing fast and loose with our children's mental health.
With more drones, missiles and air defence systems to protect your skies. With budget support to keep your country running. And help to repair your energy infrastructure and keep you warm through winter. Україно, ми з тобою.
Our thoughts are with the brave people of Ukraine. Europe stands firmly by your side.
In just two days, Russia’s rampage of violence has killed 78 people and wounded 215. Buses attacked. Innocent civilians targeted as they go about their daily lives. Never to return home. Pure and simple - these are war crimes.
Attacks on civilian infrastructure are unacceptable. Iran's proxies must stop their reckless and violent acts.
Houthis have once again struck Riyadh’s airport, taking three innocent lives. My thoughts are with the families of the victims. We stand in full solidarity with the people of Saudi Arabia and all our Gulf partners.
She is the defender of the persecuted, the vulnerable, the voiceless and the excluded. Of the rule of law over the right of might. In a world that needs justice more than ever, her courage and moral clarity are a precious compass.
From the violence of apartheid in South Africa to the horrors of the Rwandan genocide, she has confronted some of humanity’s darkest chapters. She has looked the brutality of injustice in the eye and never looked away.
Congratulations to lawyer and human rights activist Navanethem “Navi” Pillay on her Nobel Peace Prize. Few have devoted their lives to justice, peace and human dignity like she did.
Good meeting with Nikos Christodulides at the MED9. We discussed the Cyprus settlement process. And we talked about the next steps on Cyprus’ path into Schengen. Our exchange also focused on next week’s crucial EUCO, where we will discuss lowering energy prices and the cost of living.
Pour notre sécurité énergétique. Pour notre défense. Et pour la place de l’Europe dans le monde.
Ensuite, le prochain budget européen. Nous devons lui donner une ambition et des ressources à la hauteur des enjeux. Ensuite, le prochain budget européen. Nous devons lui donner une ambition et des ressources à la hauteur des enjeux.
Nous avons discuté des achats conjoints, du dialogue avec l’industrie et du développement de l’électricité propre.
