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. My press conference with Helen McEntee TD following today’s meeting of Defence 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 ↓

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.

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 ↓

Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts between the U.S. and Iran have helped prevent a return to full-blown war. The EU is ready to contribute to a sustainable and peaceful resolution. We bring economic leverage, hard-won nuclear expertise, longstanding relationships with Gulf partners, and direct engagement with Iran itself. My press remarks with Ishaq Dar in Islamabad ↓

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz hurts the global economy and helps Russia fund its war. It is affecting our partners in the region and is dangerous for global energy supplies. Today, EU Foreign Ministers will discuss how to better protect shipping in the region, including contributions from our Aspides naval mission.

Europe is not just about geography, it's also about the values and principles we share. That’s why we are glad to welcome Canada at the European Political Community meeting today to discuss common issues. We will be talking about connectivity, but also resilience to the threats we are all facing. My doorstep ↓

Russia is not winning this war. And Ukraine is now stronger on the battlefield. Today, with EU leaders, we will discuss how to further increase pressure on the Kremlin and push it towards negotiations. The swift adoption of our 21st package of sanctions will be an important step in that direction. My press remarks ahead of today’s #EUCO meeting ↓

The breakdown of international law is evident in today’s two preeminent global crises — Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and the war in the Middle East. A new world is now in the making, characterised by competition and coercive power politics; a world order dominated by a handful of military powers who aim to establish spheres of influence. This is why the EU’s support for the UN now is more vital than ever. My statement at the United Nations Security Council ↓

Daily U-turns, whether the Strait of Hormuz is open or closed, are reckless. Transit through the Strait must remain free of charge. The EU has reached the political agreement to widen our sanctions regime to also target those responsible for breaches to freedom of navigation. None of us want to see a nuclear-armed Iran. We are in agreement with our regional partners that any durable settlement must address also other issues in addition to the nuclear one, including Iran's missile programme and its continued support to terrorist groups.

Tehran is now trying to export the war to as many countries as it can. Today, EU Foreign Ministers and our Gulf partners will discuss what we can do together to break the cycle of violence. The same drones that are attacking Kyiv, are now attacking our partners in the Middle East. So we will explore how we can support drone interceptor production. My doorstep ↓

Russia increased attacks on Ukrainian civilians again last night and carried out strikes that damaged a UNESCO World Heritage site in Kyiv. These are war crimes, and Russia will have to answer for them. In response, today we are adopting additional sanctions targeting Russia's military-industrial complex and its shadow fleet. Every measure further restricts Russia's room for manoeuvre. My press remarks ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council ↓

Iran’s security forces are responsible for mass killings. Today, we are imposing new sanctions on those directly responsible for the violent crackdown on protests that has killed thousands. I also expect that Foreign Ministers will take a political decision for the EU to designate Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization. Because, if you act as a terrorist, you should also be treated as a terrorist. My doorstep ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council ↓
