Today, we will adopt nearly 1,600 new sanctions listings targeting Russia’s military-industrial complex. This will be the single largest expansion of our sanctions list since Russia started its war. We also welcome the energy ceasefire, when it holds. But we haven't seen yet if Russia will stick to it. My press remarks ahead of today’s meeting of EU Foreign Ministers ↓

We’re sanctioning Russia at speed and scale. Today’s measures, together with the upcoming 21st sanctions package, will add 250 individuals and entities to the Russia sanctions regime. This is our biggest round of individual designations since Moscow’s 2022 full-scale invasion, and includes also the EU’s largest-ever cyber sanctions package. The financial backbone of Russia’s war machine is the main target. Every measure weakens Moscow’s ability to wage war. My doorstep ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council ↓

We see no indication from Russia that it wants to end this war, or pursue any form of truce or peace. That's why we need to help Ukrainians to get through winter and defend their country. Ukrainians need more air defence. And we need to increase pressure on Russia to make it clear that they have to negotiate. My doorstep ahead of today’s European Council meeting ↓

51 countries are united today in our support for Ukraine at the UN General Assembly. Since March 2025, Ukraine has agreed to a full, immediate and unconditional ceasefire. We call on Russia to finally do the same. Ukraine wants peace. We want peace. Russia must stop its aggression, accept a ceasefire, and engage meaningfully in negotiations towards a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in accordance with international law.

Russia is intensifying its attacks on Ukraine’s export routes. Its aggression in the Black Sea make it harder to put food on people’s plates across the world. A Black Sea freedom of navigation arrangement would protect lives and vital supplies. Ukraine has proposed it. Russia has rejected it. That is why diplomatic engagement must go hand in hand with sustained pressure on Moscow and support for Ukraine. My intervention in #EPlenary ↓

Europe has stood by Ukraine since Russia started its war. And that is one of the reasons Russia has failed to achieve its goals. To end the war, we must pressure Russia, not Ukraine. Europe has the strength and influence to make a difference. My doorstep ahead of today’s European Council meeting ↓

Russia’s sham Duma elections were an insult to Ukraine, to the Russian people, and to democracy itself. Putin hates democracy because he is threatened by it. That is why – along with destroying civil society and repressing political opposition at home – Russia meddles in the democratic space of others, including the European Union. The EU is currently preparing sanctions on those involved in the organisation of these “elections” and those who stood as candidates for Russia in occupied Ukraine. My intervention in #EPlenary on the undemocratic elections to the Russian State Duma ↓

The Houthis use textbook terror tactics against civilians in Yemen and Saudi Arabia to sow fear in the region. In the Red Sea, operation Aspides plays a crucial role in protecting shipping against Houthi threats. Aspides has escorted hundreds of vessels to safety and its role is now more visible and in demand. My intervention in #EPlenary ↓

Grain from Ukraine feeds people all over the world. But Russia is blocking exports through the Black Sea and is deliberately causing global food insecurity. The EU is calling for attacks to stop and grain to flow again. Food must never be used as a weapon of war. My remarks at our UN side event on the Black Sea ↓

Russia has been carrying out attacks against Ukrainian civilians again. Ukraine needs more Patriot interceptors before winter. We are calling on Member States that have them in their stocks to provide them to Ukraine. Member States have also recently agreed how to distribute €6.6 billion in European Peace Facility funds. That means at least €1 billion new funds for joint procurement. This will strengthen cooperation among Member States on defence and support for Ukraine.

The Arctic has become a frontline of global power competition. The EU’s updated Arctic strategy reflects this new reality by putting security firmly at its core. Europe will bolster its role in the High North by: 🔹 strengthening surveillance and satellite monitoring, 🔹 better protecting critical undersea infrastructure via an Arctic Cable Hub, 🔹 expanding Europe’s icebreaker capacity, 🔹 investing in new technologies fit for extreme environments, 🔹 improving military mobility. My press remarks with Jozef Síkela ↓

Russia is hitting Europe with a wave of increasingly kinetic hybrid attacks. With this, Putin wants to scare us away from supporting Ukraine. He will not succeed. To the contrary, we will increase our support and invest in our own defence. We are also planning the most far-reaching sanctions against Russia yet. This is the best way to stop Putin.

International navigation must remain open to everyone, not to whoever can pay. Today, 60 countries pledged to oppose tolls or fees on international shipping routes by joining our “No Fees, No Tolls” global pledge. This is a clear diplomatic signal to all those who seek to hijack waterways for their own gain. I want to thank all the countries who signed up and invite others to join us.

Europe faces a fast-proliferation of sabotage attacks and airspace violations. Moscow is trying to scare Europe into winding down its support for Ukraine. As Russia is willing to take greater risks, Europe must impose greater costs. There are many ways to do that: stronger action against Russia’s shadow fleet and tougher measures targeting its military-industrial complex.

The success of Syria’s transition matters greatly to Europe. The EU is using its political and economic tools to help Syria on the path to an inclusive and peaceful transition. EU-Syria relations have come a long way since Assad's fall. We want Syria to take its rightful place in the international family, and we are ready to help turn this into lasting progress. My press remarks in Damascus with Foreign Minister al-Shaibani ↓

The two-state solution remains the most viable path to a Middle East without war. Europe is the biggest supporter of the Palestinian people. Our meeting today focused on the next steps to support Gaza and the West Bank. My press remarks with PM of Palestine and Espen Barth Eide ↓

Russia bombed civilians at record levels this summer. Yet Russians continued to enter and enjoy the hospitality of European countries. It should not work this way. There was broad support today among Foreign Ministers to move with an EU visa entry ban for Russian ex-combatants and tougher visa restrictions on Russian tourists.

Russia is escalating attacks on Ukrainian civilians. July and August were the deadliest months since the war started. But Ukrainians are standing strong. We must stand with them. That’s why air defence is our top priority. Some countries have interceptors that will soon expire. Those could be sent to Ukraine to help protect Ukrainian lives. My press remarks ahead of the meeting of Defence Ministers ↓

We must further reduce Moscow’s capacity to fund its war, including through its shadow fleet. EU naval Operation IRINI has boarded six suspected vessels in recent months, making it the lead actor in boarding operations. National boarding operations should continue in parallel. We must coordinate closely and use the existing legal framework to inspect and seize vessels. Extract of my press conference following today’s meeting of EU Defence Ministers ↓
