We are stepping up our crackdown on circumvention. As evasion tactics grow more sophisticated, our sanctions will adapt to stay ahead. For the first time, our restrictive measures will hit crypto platforms. And prohibit transactions in crypto currencies.

We want to ban imports of Russian LNG into European markets. It is time to turn off the tap. I want to be clear: Europeans will be safe this winter. Because we have been preparing for this under REPowerEU. Our efforts are paying off today.

Russia is showing the full extent of its contempt for diplomacy and international law. So we're increasing the pressure. With our 19th package of sanctions covering energy, financial services and trade restrictions. → link.europa.eu/WYYwh3

As threats escalate, so too will our pressure. I call on EU leaders to swiftly approve our 19th sanctions package.

Europe stands with Estonia in the face of Russia’s latest violation of our airspace. We will respond to every provocation with determination while investing in a stronger Eastern flank.

Now is the time to double down on partnerships rooted in shared interests and guided by common values. With our new EU–India strategy, we are taking our relationship to the next level. And we are committed to finalising our trade agreement by end of the year. → link.europa.eu/WvvDmV

The EU remains the biggest donor of humanitarian aid. We also remain an unwavering champion of the two-state solution, which is being undermined by the Israeli government’s recent settlement actions in the West Bank.

The horrific events taking place in Gaza on a daily basis must stop. There needs to be an immediate ceasefire, unrestrained access for all humanitarian aid, and the release of all hostages held by Hamas.

Today we propose to sanction extremist ministers and violent settlers, and suspend trade concessions with Israel. And put bilateral support to Israel on hold, without affecting our work with Israeli civil society or Yad Vashem. link.europa.eu/nx3DrG

The #EUDataAct becomes applicable from today across the EU. It is a key pillar of the EU data strategy and marks a major step towards building a fair and innovative European data economy. It emphasises fair access and user rights, while ensuring the protection of personal data.

🇪🇺 This is a fight for our future, a moment where a new Europe must emerge 🇪🇺 In her #SOTEU speech, President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu highlighted the path ahead: strengthening Europe’s security, boosting competitiveness with digital & clean tech, and building a strong EU AI ecosystem.

Today, we have seen a reckless and unprecedented violation of Poland and Europe's airpace by more than 10 Russian Shahed drones. Europe stands in full solidarity with Poland. Europa jest w pełni solidarna z Polską.

Europe is in a fight. A fight for our liberty and our ability to determine our destiny for ourselves. This must be Europe’s Independence Moment. A moment we can seize if we're united ↓ www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVnm...

What is happening in Gaza has shaken the conscience of the world. Man-made famine can never be a weapon of war. This must stop. EU aid to Gaza far outweighs that of any other partner. But of course, Europe needs to do more. Here are measures for a way forward ↓

Russia should pay for the war it started. To finance Ukraine’s war effort, we support a new solution: a Reparations Loan on the basis of Russian assets – the cash balances associated to these assets.

And we will back Ukraine with our industrial strength, with a new Qualitative Military Edge programme and a Drone Alliance.

Europe’s independence is about protecting our freedoms. And free press is the backbone of democracy. We will launch a Media Resilience Programme to support journalism and media literacy. And keep backing independent and local media - because corruption happens in the dark.

Russia’s war is escalating, not ending. We must raise the cost on Moscow, strengthen support for Ukraine, and invest in Europe’s defence. The EU plays a major role and we will support initiatives like the Eastern Border Shield defence line. (2/2)

Last night in Poland we saw the most serious European airspace violation by Russia since the war began, and indications suggest it was intentional, not accidental. I am in contact with NATO Secretary General Rutte and Poland FM Sikorski. The EU stands in full solidarity with Poland. (1/2)
