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.

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".

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.

We have a deal on the multiannual financial framework. This agreement allows us to mobilise an additional €50 bn for Ukraine. It shows the leadership of the European Council. We are united and we won’t be intimidated by Russia. #EUCO

Many good exchanges with partners and friends at the East Asia Summit in Laos. ASEAN is a key partner for the EU, driving significant trade and investment while offering vast opportunities through green and digital transitions. Both ASEAN and the EU stand as successful models of economic integration, demonstrating how cooperation can lead to peace, prosperity, security, and resilience.

I ask you all: Could you bear having your child stolen and deported? Forced to forget your family, your language, your land. So-called “adoption”. In fact, this is an attempt at cultural genocide. #UNSC

The EU’s strong regulatory tradition is a powerful tool—not a weakness. We must create smart regulations that protect our values, while spurring innovation, growth, and economic progress. Artificial Intelligence will be an extraordinary tool for achieving our goals. #OdooExperience

We want to make Europe stronger, more resilient, and more influential. And we want to better defend the legitimate interests of our people and businesses. We reaffirmed these common priorities in Budapest at the #EPC & Informal #EUCO. We know what to do. Now let’s get it done.
