As I told President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in our discussion at the Munich Security Conference this afternoon, in the next days, on behalf of @europarl.europa.eu, I will sign into law the €90 billion solidarity loan to Ukraine. Europe stands with the people of Ukraine with concrete action. #MSC2026

The next chapter for Iran must be defined by freedom. The regime clinging on to power by massacring Iranians demanding liberty, by torturing dissidents and cutting off communication, knows its days of repression are numbered. The people of Iran have endured enough. They deserve freedom. #MSC2026
