Congratulations, Sergii Koretsky, on your confirmation as Prime Minister. We look forward to continuing our excellent cooperation with Ukraine. We are confident that you will place Ukraine's European integration at the heart of the country’s transformation effort.

Honoured to receive the Order of Europe. Ukraine's spirit is unique. And best described by the word 'Nezlamnist'. Unbreakable & indestructible. Stoic & unshakeable. It's the founding spirit of Europe. Because Ukraine is Europe.

Just arrived in Kyiv for my 11th visit to Ukraine in wartime. It’s a special moment. Ukraine has built a strong military momentum. The tide is turning. I will announce new initiatives to integrate our defence industries. So we can produce more, and faster.

Whoever wins tonight, a strong European team will be in the final!

I welcome the Council’s swift work in supporting the EU-Mexico interim Trade Agreement. Fast implementation means faster opportunities for trade and investment and tangible certainty for businesses, workers and citizens on both sides.

Congratulations on your confirmation as Prime Minister, dear Mindaugas Sinkevičius. A strong Lithuania means a strong Eastern flank for our Union. Our cooperation is crucial for Europe's security, competitiveness, and a budget matching these ambitions.

Aujourd’hui sur les Champs-Élysées, nous célébrons la liberté, héritage chéri de la France. Nous le savons ; il n’y pas de liberté sans défense. Pas de paix durable sans force de la préserver. Je remercie la France pour son engagement.

Dear Nikos Christodulides, it was good to see you in Paris. The EU is ready to do its utmost to support the UN’s efforts to solve the Cyprus issue, within the UN framework and in line with the principles, values and legislation of the EU.

🇪🇺 🇬🇧 Signed! The agreement that paves the way for the UK to join our €90 billion Ukraine Loan. This will give Ukraine access to a wider range of defence suppliers. So they can get what they need on the battlefield. Together, we are supporting Ukraine's brave resistance. link.europa.eu/hhgpCG

In Paris for the meeting of the Coalition of the Willing. Ukraine has built strong military momentum. The tide is turning. The EU is fully playing its part with our €90 billion Loan.

Heartwarming to see the success of our 2nd Palestine Donor Group meeting today, with 65 participating countries and institutions. We have raised almost €900 million for early recovery in Gaza. The Team Gaza initiative is supported by 🇪🇺🇪🇸 🇩🇰 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 🇳🇴 🇫🇮 🇮🇹 🇳🇱 🇫🇷 🇯🇵 🇨🇭 🇸🇪 🇧🇪 & the World Bank Group

We need age-appropriate restrictions on platforms. This is not about whether children can access social media. It is about when social media can access our children. For a safer start online for every child ↓ link.europa.eu/NR9c9h

Good call with Antonio Guterres. We can sense a renewed momentum to solve the Cyprus issue within the UN framework and in line with the principles, values and legislation of the EU.

My condolences to Senator Lindsey Graham’s family and loved ones. Senator Graham fought until the very end to support Ukraine’s fight for freedom and raise the cost of Russia’s war of aggression. He worked tirelessly to strengthen sanctions, in close coordination with the EU.

Me entristecen las noticias que llegan de Almería y de otras regiones de España. Nuestros pensamientos están con las víctimas de estos incendios forestales y con sus familias.

Today, we are presenting a new sanctions regime against migrant smugglers and traffickers. We all have a common goal. To drive them out of business. And to save the lives of thousands of people who dream of a better life.

Thank you, President Erdoğan, for the warm welcome to Ankara. The EU and Türkiye are strategic partners, and we are committed to strengthening our relationship. In a more challenging world, our partnership matters more than ever.

Touchbase with President Zelenskyy at the NATO Summit. We are committed to helping protect the skies of Ukraine. More support is on the way for air defence and missile interception.

In a more dangerous world, the EU–NATO partnership is more important than ever. European states are investing heavily in their defence. Building stronger, combat-ready, interoperable forces.

Finland stands strong. As we ramp up our collective capabilities, your country is leading the way, dear Alexander Stubb. From military strength to tech savviness. And preparedness across the board. From the Baltic to the Arctic, Finland makes Europe stronger.

Dear Volodymyr, it is good to see you in Ankara. Here, we are discussing the future of defence. And Ukraine has a great deal to contribute. This month, we have provided the first €4 billion of our drone package to further strengthen Ukraine's drone capabilities.

What matters for Europe now: to accelerate the production of defence equipment. Here Europe and Ukraine will be stronger together by integrating our respective defence industries. Giving us speed, mass production and innovation. link.europa.eu/mwKqck

In Ankara today with NATO allies. We've entered a new era of European security. EU Member States are rearming to defend Europe and, at the same time, strengthen the Alliance.

Alors que des incendies ravagent le sud de la France, l'Europe se mobilise. Nous avons déployé quatre avions bombardiers d'eau de notre flotte RescEU.

Last night, the Russian regime once again blindly attacked civilians from the air, with over 400 drones and missiles attacking the capital. Ukraine urgently needs more air defence. We will discuss it this week in Ankara at the NATO Summit.

A Europa está com Portugal e os seus cidadāos que, uma vez mais, fazem face a devastadores incêndios florestais. 118 bombeiros e 45 veículos provenientes de 🇪🇸 chegaram ontem à noite. Hoje, aeronaves da #rescEU provenientes de 🇮🇹 e 🇪🇸 juntam-se à resposta. Isto é solidariedade em ação.

Today, we join our American friends in celebrating 250 years of independence. The Declaration of Independence gave birth to a new nation founded on the ideals of liberty and the pursuit of happiness. For 250 years our transatlantic partnership has been shaped by our shared values and family bonds.

Dear Michael Martin, we share a priority: a stronger and more competitive EU economy. The Irish presidency has an ambitious agenda to deliver on our 'One Europe One Market' plan: So we can make Europe the best place to innovate, invest and scale.

Irish leadership brings people together. You help find common ground. And get things done. When Europe has faced moments of change, Ireland has so often helped chart the course. Including through your successful EU Presidencies. link.europa.eu/xBHyHw

Dia dhuit, Ireland 🇮🇪 Touchdown in Cork for the start of the Irish presidency. Ireland has built one of the EU's most dynamic and innovative economies. You have a talent for breaking frontiers and brokering deals. Europe is lucky 🍀 to have Ireland leading at such a crucial moment.

It is good to be back in Yerevan so soon. The recent elections have once again shown the strength of Armenia's democracy. Armenia is staying the course on reform and moving closer to Europe. So I'm here with a simple message: Armenia can count on us. Մենք ձեզ հետ ենք:

📍Touchdown in Baku 🇦🇿 The EU believes in a bright future for the South Caucasus: connected, peaceful and prosperous. We want to help build that future. I'm also here to deepen the EU-Azerbaijan partnership. From trade to transport. From energy to the economy.

From today, customs duties apply to e-commerce parcels worth up to €150 entering the EU. 30 million Europeans work in retail; it's our our largest private-sector employer. And the surge in low-value online imports has put our retailers at an unfair disadvantage.

Congratulations and Ευχαριστώ dear Nikos Christodoulides. The Cypriot presidency was a real success. You drove forward our EU agenda, from competitiveness to enlargement. Abroad, you built bridges with our partners in the Middle East at a crucial moment.

Denmark is the first Member State to complete its NextGenerationEU plan. Your success is a signal for Europe. With €1.63 billion investment in clean transport, energy efficiency and digital transformation, Denmark is leading the way. Tillykke, dear Mette!

Ukraine's ingenuity lies at the heart of its success in resisting Russia's full-scale invasion. It is this ingenuity that we want to support. Today, we are providing a first €3.9 billion for advanced drone technology to strengthen Ukraine's defence. More will follow. link.europa.eu/Rpkvhd

Great meeting with @nadiacalvino.eib.org. Europe's future is built on our investments today. In our tech sovereignty. In defence & security. In our partnerships worldwide.

I welcome the agreement between Israel and Lebanon. This is a critical step away from escalation. Because there can be no peace in the Middle East with Lebanon in flames. My thanks to the US for the mediation.

At the Eastern Flank Summit in Gdańsk. With the latest drone incursions, Russia is bringing war to our doorstep. We are making the Eastern Flank Watch operational with SAFE. And developing it into an important pillar of Europe's security architecture.

The courage of Ukraine's armed forces has shifted the momentum on the battlefield. The tide is turning. And the resolve of the Ukrainian people has shown to the world that their European choice cannot be broken. Ukraine will prevail, grow, prosper ↓ link.europa.eu/tdFJd3

In Gdańsk, a city that helped change the course of Polish and European history. Here, people showed that freedom could prevail over oppression. And that solidarity is the road to freedom. This lesson guides Europe today as we stand in solidarity with Ukraine.

Expresamos nuestra solidaridad con todos los venezolanos tras los devastadores terremotos de anoche. Pienso de manera especial en las víctimas y sus familiares. Estamos con vosotros.

🇧🇯 Le Bénin est un partenaire clé de l’UE en Afrique de l’Ouest. C’est une relation fondée sur la confiance mutuelle et la volonté d’améliorer la qualité de vie pour tous. Et c’est toute l’essence de notre stratégie Global Gateway. Ensemble, nous investissons au Bénin ↓ link.europa.eu/w3qkYm

Cuando el desastre golpea un rincón de Europa, todos nos unimos. Hemos aprobado nuevos fondos para ayudar a reconstruir lo que las inundaciones de la DANA en Valencia destruyeron. En total, nuestra ayuda se eleva a cerca de 1000 millones de euros.

When disaster strikes one part of Europe, our whole Union rises in unity. We have just approved new funding to help rebuild what the terrible floods of Valencia destroyed. It brings our total support close to €1 billion.

Dependence on imported fossil fuels leaves our economies exposed. And citizens are paying the price. Electrification turns dependence into resilience. We will soon table our proposal to boost electrification across Europe. And today's Leaders' Statement sets the course towards COP31.

Welcome to Brussels, dear President Tokayev. Kazakhstan, and Central Asia as a whole, is a natural global gateway. Today, we will discuss how Global Gateway can bring our regions closer together. Turning a gateway into a pathway for jobs, opportunities and prosperity.

Only last week, we opened the first negotiation cluster with Moldova. A historic milestone on your European journey. Today, the EU and Moldova are taking another step forward together ↓ link.europa.eu/VCh3DQ

Moldova has made its choice clear. In one election after another. With implementing sweeping reforms. And despite constant pressure from Russia. Your future is in our Union.

It can take many leaders years to grow into the statesman you became in just two years. European and Ukrainian security is stronger because of you. Thank you, dear Keir.
