Today we have discussed the current situation and we are clear that there should be nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine. As next steps, European leaders will meet tomorrow in the margins of G20 and then in Angola at the EU-AU meeting.

Standing in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, the profound interconnection between land, seas, and people is unmistakable. Forests and oceans are not just part of nature. They are part of our future, our strongest allies in climate protection. And the EU is fully committed to preserving them. ⬇️

Our goal remains a strong and free Ukraine. Russia needs to know that the EU and its partners have the will and the means to continue supporting Ukraine until a just and lasting peace is achieved. Soon, we will launch a new programme to give Ukraine the tech edge it needs on the battlefield.
