We continue to stand in solidarity with Denmark and Greenland. Greenland is an autonomous territory in the Kingdom of Denmark. Any changes to that status are for Greenlanders and Danes alone to decide. (1/2)

Putin is banking on our failure to act. We cannot afford to do him that favour. The Reparations Loan is the most clear-cut option for sustained funding for Ukraine. My doorstep ahead of today’s #EUCO ↓

We share more than geography with the Western Balkans. We share responsibility for Europe’s security. This is why the EU is stepping up security and defence cooperation with the region and reinforcing joint response against hybrid threats and foreign interference. Our future lies together.

The conflict between Thailand and Cambodia must not be allowed to spiral further. That’s why the ceasefire needs to be immediately restored. I will continue to engage to help get out of the escalation cycle. (1/2)

Russia will not escape the bill for the homes, schools, and hospitals it has destroyed. Today in The Hague, we take a major step toward accountability by establishing a commission to address claims for Russian war damages. The EU supports its work, including with an initial €1 million contribution

Russia’s shadow fleet remains its cash lifeline. We are cutting it. Today we sanctioned several individuals linked to Rosneft and Lukoil, as well as 40 additional vessels. We will also sanction shadow fleet vessels on a rolling basis, with decisions every month. Extract from my press conference ↓

The Donbas isn’t Putin’s end game. If he gets it, he will demand more. We know this from history and we should learn from history. Extract of my doorstep ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council ↓

I am deeply shocked by the distressing images from the shooting at the Hanukkah celebrations at Bondi Beach in Australia. This appalling act of violence against the Jewish community must be unequivocally condemned. (1/2)

I welcome the release of Ales Bialiatski, Maria Kalesnikava, Maksim Znak and others from Belarusian prisons. I share the joy of their families and friends. Credit goes to the US for making this possible. Now, all those who remain unjustly detained must be released.

The EU just decided to indefinitely immobilise Russian assets. This ensures that up to €210 billion in Russian funds stay on EU soil, unless Russia fully pays reparations to Ukraine for the damage it has caused. (1/2)

As intense diplomacy to end Russia's war continues, our focus lasts on two priorities: increasing pressure on Moscow and strengthening support for Kyiv. This means more sanctions, securing financial aid to Ukraine for 2026-27 and cracking down on oil-smuggling ships. (1/2)

We need to build up European military capabilities swiftly. Strengthening European defence and supporting Ukraine are not separate tracks. They are mutually reinforcing priorities. Today’s call with E5 defence colleagues underscored our shared determination to move forward on both.

Giving Ukraine the resources it needs to defend itself doesn’t prolong the war, it can help end it. Thank you Radek Sikorski for convening a call of foreign ministers of the Council of the Baltic Sea States, where we were clear: Securing multi-year funding for Ukraine in December is essential.

Thank you to His Excellency Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani for hosting us in Doha Today we start negotiations on an agreement to strengthen regional security and economic cooperation At such fractious times for international relations, working with partners will always be the EU's choice

Europe has been underestimating its own power, especially towards Russia. We should be more self confident. The United States is still our biggest ally. And it's in the interest of the U.S. that we work together. Extracts from my intervention at the 2025 Doha Forum ↓

A pleasure to be in Austria and meet Chancellor Christian Stocker. Our discussion focused on efforts to end Russia’s war of aggression. We share a clear compass: a long and lasting peace requires to stand firmly with Ukraine. (1/2)

The OSCE was established to keep war away from Europe. Yet, Russia blatantly violates international law and OSCE principles. The EU will stay the course. Only more pressure on Russia and more support to Ukraine will change the balance. My statement at OSCE Ministerial Council ↓

Thousands of Ukrainian children have been taken from their homes by Russia. In a landmark vote, the UN adopted a resolution condemning these abductions and demanding that the children be returned to Ukraine. We will continue our efforts until every child is safely home.

Close friends stand together. As intense efforts to end Russia’s war continue, one thing is clear: Ukraine can count on our full support. This is the message I conveyed to Andrii Sybiha. Today’s agreement to phase out Russian gas imports will help cut off the revenues that fuel Moscow’s war.

Today, we adopted a new Strategic Agenda for the EU-Armenia Partnership. This is a shared ambition to work closer together on many areas – from the rule of law, economy, but also cooperation on visa liberalisation and security. I am also pleased to announce €15 million towards sustaining peace.

We need to boost Europe’s own defence. Our Defence Readiness Roadmap gives us a clear direction. Member States are now setting up work on all priorities and concrete projects are expected in the first half of next year. Extract from my press remarks ↓

This week could be pivotal for diplomacy. It is clear that Russia does not want peace, and therefore we need to make Ukraine as strong as possible. My doorstep ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council on Defence ↓

Russian drone violations of Moldova’s airspace are unacceptable and put civilian air traffic at risk. The EU is investing 20 million EUR this year in Moldova’s air-defences to help strengthen the country’s security. Moldova’s skies cannot become a casualty of Russia’s war.

Europe and Mediterranean partners are reaching for the same goals: peace, better lives for our people, and a chance at progress. By working together as equals, we can achieve these objectives through stronger partnerships and far more cooperation. Extract from my opening remarks in Barcelona ↓

We still need to get from a situation where Russia pretends to negotiate to a situation where they need to negotiate. Extract from my press remarks following today’s informal Foreign Affairs Council ↓

Gender-based violence has no place in a free and equal society. No woman or girl should have to live in fear. On International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, we call for an end to all forms of violence and affirm the right for every women to live in safety and dignity.

Both Europe and partners in the Indo-Pacific are at a critical juncture. We face the same challenges – such as climate change, terrorism, global & regional crises. Let’s turn these challenges into opportunities for growth, partnership and innovation. My opening remarks at the Indo-Pacific Forum ↓

The EU has a very clear two-point plan: first, weaken Russia; second, support Ukraine. Sanctions are hitting Russia hard. The export of Russian crude oil is at its lowest. And tax revenues from oil are the lowest since the war started. My press remarks following today's FAC link.europa.eu/VDdpDw

The fast movement of Europe's militaries is essential for European defence. We have to ensure that forces can be in the right place and at the right time. It is quite simple: the faster we can move forces, the stronger our deterrence and defence.

I opened today a conversation with Foreign Ministers Konaković of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Đjurić of Serbia on regional stability and future cooperation opportunities. EU membership is our shared objective. We agreed to meet again in coming months to take this discussion forward.

Glad to welcome Moldova’s new Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu to Brussels. EU-Moldova ties are stronger than ever, and we will continue to support Moldova’s European path and its ambitious reform agenda. Congratulations on the progress achieved so far.

Russia’s overnight strikes on Kyiv make clear that Russia intends to press on with war. In Berlin today we discussed how to increase our support to Ukraine while building up Europe’s defence. My press remarks here → www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/europea...

Europe and CELAC represent a fifth of the global economy. Our collective voice represents one third of UN membership. We face the same challenge of how to overcome old dependencies while avoiding new ones. We can do better by working together. My press remarks here ↓ link.europa.eu/998TVK

It’s a pleasure to be in Santa Marta, Colombia, for the Summit with the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States. Together with our partners, we will discuss how to strengthen our political and economic cooperation and security. My doorstep ahead of the EU-CELAC summit ↓

Starting a war and expecting to move freely in Europe is hard to justify. The EU is tightening visa rules for Russian nationals amid continued drone disruptions and sabotage on European soil. Travelling to the EU is a privilege, not a given.

Greece is an important EU member and a critical bridge between Europe and the Middle East. In Athens, we discussed global security issues including Russia’s war against Ukraine, EU enlargement, recent developments in the Middle East and Gaza, stability in the Eastern Mediterranean and beyond.

Cyprus will hold the rotating EU Presidency from January. We share the same priorities — from EU support for Ukraine to boosting our defence I am confident that our cooperation will continue to strengthen Europe's stability & security. Extract from my press remarks with Constantinos Kombos ↓

EU enlargement is not a 'nice to have'. It is a necessity if we want to be a stronger player on the world stage. Extract from my press remarks on the 2025 enlargement package with Commissioner Kos ↓

The uncertainty and violence in Tanzania are a dangerous moment. We urge all parties to prevent further escalation. The authorities must exercise maximum restraint and respect the right of assembly. Single-party rule is not the way forward for Tanzania. My statement on behalf of the EU ↓

The Great Lakes Region faces a critical moment. Our priority is to ease the suffering of millions of people in the region. For this, the EU will provide €129M humanitarian assistance this year. We will also keep supporting mediation efforts led by the African Union.

The seizure of El Fasher, Darfur’s capital, by the Rapid Support Forces marks a dangerous turning point in Sudan's war. The EU urges all parties to return to negotiations, respect humanitarian law, and ensure safe access for humanitarian aid. My statement with Hadja Lahbib link.europa.eu/cyxB4r

Congratulations to Timor-Leste for joining ASEAN! Regional cooperation has never been more important. This is a major step for the country and we are proud to have helped you on this journey. You can count on the EU for continued support.

Today’s agreement between Cambodia and Thailand is an important milestone for peace. We commend President Trump and Malaysia as ASEAN Chair for their efforts in sealing the deal. The EU is ready to support its implementation, including by facilitating de-mining in the border region.

It is an honour to sign the EU-Uzbekistan Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement, together with Commissioner Kos and Foreign Minister Saidov. This deal opens multiple avenues for stronger cooperation across key areas, such as security, connectivity, trade, and sustainable development

The new US sanctions are an important sign of strength. Together with our 19th package of sanctions, we are depriving Russia of the means to fund this war. My doorstep ahead of today’s #EUCO ↓

We just adopted our 19th sanctions package. It targets Russian banks, crypto exchanges, entities in India and China, among others. The EU is curbing Russian diplomats’ movements to counter the attempts of destabilisation. It is increasingly harder for Putin to fund this war.

The window for EU enlargement is now wide open. Today in London, we met our Western Balkan partners to deepen our cooperation on security, energy, economy. Enlarging the EU is a geostrategic investment in the security of whole Europe. Together we can get it over the line.

Close friends stick together. And face challenges side by side. I’m meeting in London Defence Secretary Healey and Foreign Secretary Cooper for the first EU-UK Foreign and Security Policy Dialogue. We are deepening our cooperation to support Ukraine and address geopolitical threats together.

Glad to meet President El-Sisi ahead of the first ever EU–Egypt Summit. Together, we’re advancing our Strategic Partnership for more investment and economic opportunities. The EU is ready to work with Egypt on all international issues, including Ukraine, Middle East, Sudan and Libya.
