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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Armenia has made a sovereign choice. And for this you are facing significant economic pressure from Russia. When pressure mounts for our partners, we step up. We will strengthen and diversify Armenia’s trade and economy.

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:

In addition, we're launching a €20 million peace-fostering programme, dedicated to border communities. Together, we can turn peace on paper into peace into practice. This is within reach.

We support peace through connectivity. The EU will invest up to €200 million in transport, energy & digital links across the region. With this, we can leverage €2 billion in additional investment. To build bridges between countries and people ↓ link.europa.eu/KXwymC

📍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.

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.

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.

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.

Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion, the EU and its Member States have provided unprecedented economic, financial and military support. Today, we are transferring the first tranche under the €90 billion Ukraine Support Loan. This is European solidarity in action.

Over the past year, we have strengthened Ukraine’s economic foundations. We have advanced its European path. And we have created new opportunities for growth. Now is the time to invest in Ukraine. A future member of a single market worth €20 trillion.
