Charles Michel’s posts

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

We decided to grant EU candidate status to Ukraine. Ukraine is the EU. And the EU is Ukraine. I have one dream. I dream that one day a Ukrainian will hold my job as President of the European Council. Or as President of the European Parliament. Or President of the Commission.

It's been 15 years since Russia’s invasion of #Georgia. 15 years later, the EU's support to 🇬🇪's territorial integrity and sovereignty remains steadfast. We stand with the courageous people of Georgia who have chosen a pro-EU and pro-NATO path.

Our thoughts are with the royal family and all those who mourn Queen Elizabeth II in the UK and worldwide. Once called Elizabeth the Steadfast, she never failed to show us the importance of lasting values in a modern world with her service and commitment.

10 years ago, Russia took #Crimea & used it as a strategic springboard to launch its full attack on Ukraine. #Russia's invasion of #Ukraine brought death & destruction. EU will demand full accountability for war crimes & refuse attempts to illegally change 🇺🇦 territories status

One year after Russia started its war of aggression, EU’s resolve remains unwavering. We'll make sure that 🇺🇦 prevails. That its territorial integrity is restored, that the country will be rebuilt & justice will be done. Until that day, we will not rest.
