The 🇪🇺EU and 🇨🇴Colombia are leaders in fighting climate change. @petrogustavo, your agenda for peace and stability merits our full support. The EU is on your side. #CELAC

Ukraine needs more weapons to push back Russia’s aggression.
Pleased the Foreign Affairs Council has approved another €500 million - the 7th tranche under the European Peace Facility.
The EU’s overall military support to 🇺🇦 now totals over €11.5 bn
@ZelenskyyUa @JosepBorrellF

To the Iranian people: we are hearing you.
The EU will continue to support your aspiration for freedom and dignity.
The fourth package of sanctions adopted today is a clear message that we will not stand idle to violations of human rights in #Iran.
29
@ZelenskyyUa I am absolutely convinced that a brighter future awaits you all. A future within the EU. A future with peace, with prosperity.
There can be no independent and safe Europe without an independent and safe Ukraine.
There can be no free Europe without a free Ukraine.

Churchill used freedom and hope as a weapon to defeat the Nazis.
Mandela used his prison cell as a symbol of spiritual liberty to transform his country.
Today @ZelenskyyUa embodies 🇺🇦’s spirit of national resistance.
You will win because of this spirit & because you are not alone
31
We decided to grant EU candidate status to Ukraine.
Ukraine is the EU. And the EU is Ukraine.
I have one dream. I dream that one day a Ukrainian will hold my job as President of the European Council. Or as President of the European Parliament. Or President of the Commission.
32
22 years after gaining your independence, you Ukrainians decided to say: "We are European".
So today, I have come to Ukraine to tell the people of Ukraine: "We are all Ukrainians".
33
@ZelenskyyUa We hear your message. You need more air defence and artillery systems, more ammunitions.
I firmly believe that tanks must be delivered.
We want to support you because we are aware that the next few weeks may be decisive for what comes next. @ZelenskyyUa

Nearly a year after Russia’s brutal attack against the Ukrainian people and the values and principles of European democracy, I am touched to be back on Ukrainian soil today.
Watch the press conference after the meeting with President @ZelenskyyUa. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Impressed by the veterans’ courage at the EU-funded rehabilitation center in #Kyiv.
Ukraine is unbreakable.
36
🇪🇺🇺🇦 Back in #Kyiv to discuss all strands of cooperation.
May 2023 be the year of victory and peace.
37
On my way to #Kyiv.
Ukrainians are fighting for their land, for the future of their children.
But they are also fighting for our common European values of peace and prosperity.
They need and deserve our support.

We join #Ukraine in grief following the tragic helicopter accident in #Brovary
Minister Denys Monastyrsky was a great friend of the EU.
We share our deepest condolences with the families of the victims, President @ZelenskyyUa PM @Denys_Shmyhal and the people of #Ukraine
39
The time is now. Ukraine needs more military equipment. I firmly support the delivery of tanks.
@ZelenskyyUa @Denys_Shmyhal

In phone call with @ZelenskyyUa, I reaffirmed the EU's steadfast support for Ukraine. We are committed to providing the necessary military support.
We also discussed preparation for the next EU-Ukraine Summit in February.
41
Putin wanted less NATO. But he has achieved the opposite. He will have more @NATO.
And he will have more EU.
42
Russia's war against Ukraine has brought the EU and NATO closer together. With today's declaration, we want to take our cooperation to the next level to ensure peace and stability. Follow our press conference live. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

My absolute condemnation of the assault on the democratic institutions of Brazil.
Full support for President @LulaOficial Da Silva, democratically elected by millions of Brazilians through fair and free elections.

Є агресор: Кремль.
І жертва: український народ.
Виведення російських військ - єдиний серйозний спосіб відновлення миру та безпеки.
Оголошення про одностороннє припинення вогню є таким же фальшивим і лицемірним, як і незаконні і гротескні анексії та супутні референдуми
45
There’s an aggressor: the Kremlin. And a victim:the Ukrainian people. Withdrawal of Russian troops is only serious option to restore peace & security. Announcement of unilateral ceasefire is as bogus & hypocritical as the illegal & grotesque annexations and accompanying referenda
46
Warmly welcome 🇸🇪@sweden2023eu
Presidency of the Council of the EU. Look forward to working together with
you.
Välkomna, Sverige, @SwedishPM and thank you @P_Fiala and 🇨🇿 @EU2022_CZ for all your hard work!
47
In 2022, the EU rose to the challenge.
In 2023, we will continue.
Strong. Confident. United.

Switching off the lights @EUCouncil building and "sharing" our light - and solidarity - with Ukrainians facing blackouts.

Dear @MichealMartinTD we will miss your soft-spoken ways and your constructiveness at the #EUCO table — always looking for a positive way forward and exploring compromise solutions. Thank you.
We wish you all the best.
Go raibh maith agat agus gach rath ort!
