Violence can never be the answer! We condemn all forms of violence and reaffirm our call for political dialogue #CatalanReferendum #Spain
Agreement. #EUCO has just decided EU candidate status to Ukraine and Moldova.
A historic moment.
Today marks a crucial step on your path towards the EU.
Congratulations and and the people of Ukraine 🇺🇦 and 🇲🇩
Our future is together.
Ukraine is unbreakable.
So is our support and friendship.
Slava Ukraini.
Meeting with President Zelenskyy in Kyiv.
Full Trust, confidence and admiration for president
The fight of #Ukraine will be victorious.
You are not alone.
We stand side by side with you.
Shocked by the unprecedented attack of the Nova Kakhovka dam.
The destruction of civilian infrastructure clearly qualifies as a war crime - and we will hold Russia and its proxies accountable.
There’s an aggressor: the Kremlin. And a victim:the Ukrainian people. Withdrawal of Russian troops is only serious option to restore peace & security. Announcement of unilateral ceasefire is as bogus & hypocritical as the illegal & grotesque annexations and accompanying referenda
Congratulations to president elect
Brazilians have chosen for change.
EU is committed to cooperate on global challenges: peace & stability, prosperity, climate change.
And we’ll work with the whole region.
I look forward to congratulating you in person soon.
The time is now. Ukraine needs more military equipment. I firmly support the delivery of tanks.

On my way to #Kyiv.
Ukrainians are fighting for their land, for the future of their children.
But they are also fighting for our common European values of peace and prosperity.
They need and deserve our support.

Ukraine is a crime scene. The perpetrator is in this very room. You know who you are.
And we are all witnesses.
This UN Security Council was born to say “no” to aggression. To protect peace & security for all.

22 years after gaining your independence, you Ukrainians decided to say: "We are European".
So today, I have come to Ukraine to tell the people of Ukraine: "We are all Ukrainians".

Є агресор: Кремль.
І жертва: український народ.
Виведення російських військ - єдиний серйозний спосіб відновлення миру та безпеки.
Оголошення про одностороннє припинення вогню є таким же фальшивим і лицемірним, як і незаконні і гротескні анексії та супутні референдуми
Dear Ukrainian friends,
On your Independence Day, the EU stands with you.
You are a member of our European family and your future is with us.
Slava Ukraini.

A political crisis can only be solved through dialogue. We call for a peaceful solution with respect for national and international order
In Borodyanka.
Like Bucha and too many other towns in #Ukraine
History will not forget the war crimes that have been committed here.
There can be no peace without justice.
Mortified by atrocious video showing murder of Ukrainian prisoner of war by Russian soldier.
Accountability and justice must prevail over terror and impunity.
The EU will do all possible to ensure that.
The EU will continue to stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.
Quote
The execution of a Ukrainian captive…
This is a video of Russia as it is. This is a video of 
trying to make just that the new norm.
Everyone must react. Every leader. Don't expect it to be forgotten.
We are not going to forget anything. The defeat of terror is necessary.

My absolute condemnation of the assault on the democratic institutions of Brazil.
Full support for President Da Silva, democratically elected by millions of Brazilians through fair and free elections.
Shocked by the news of a missile or other ammunition having killed people on Polish territory.
My condolences to the families.
We stand with Poland.
I am in contact with Polish authorities, members of the European Council and other allies.

Gazprom’s move is sadly no surprise.
Use of gas as a weapon will not change the resolve of the EU.
We will accelerate our path towards energy independence.
Our duty is to protect our citizens and support the freedom of #Ukraine
Today is a dark anniversary. For Ukraine. For Europe. And for the world.
For one year, Russia has waged war against Ukraine.
And for one year, Ukraine has fought back with courage.
A free and independent Ukraine is a free and independent Europe. Ukraine will prevail.

Ukraine needs more weapons to push back Russia’s aggression.
Pleased the Foreign Affairs Council has approved another €500 million - the 7th tranche under the European Peace Facility.
The EU’s overall military support to 🇺🇦 now totals over €11.5 bn
My message to the EU citizens:
We must mobilise. Not for war. But to preserve peace, security and prosperity. Everyone has a role to play.

Shinzo Abe was a true friend of Europe.
We truly thank him for his service.
As we deepen EU-Japan relations, we build on his legacy.
It’s time to be firm, clear, and give #Ukraine our utmost support. First on the military front: munitions, artillery, vehicles, defence systems.
These are the needs we must respond to now.
Words are important, but not enough.

Defeat for Ukraine is not an option.
Ukraine needs ammunition to defend itself.
That’s why we are working to organise bulk orders to support the pace of our ammunition deliveries to Ukraine.

Now is the time to acknowledge that the future of Ukraine, Moldova & Georgia lies within the EU.
I will invite you to grant candidate status to Ukraine & Moldova.
In parallel, we will continue to provide Ukraine with strong humanitarian, military, economic & financial support.
Strongly concerned about developments in Georgia.
Right to peaceful protest is at the core of any democracy.
Adoption of this “foreign influence” law is not compatible with the EU path which majority in 🇬🇪 wants.
Commitment to rule of law and human values is key to EU project.
A minute of silence for the people of Türkiye and Syria.
