As we prepare to celebrate Ukraine’s Independence Day, we raise the Ukrainian flag in Brussels. So it can fly proudly at the heart of our Union, where it belongs. Ukraine will reclaim its security. Its freedom. And it will take its rightful place in our Union.

$I’m so glad to be in India today. India and Europe have made a clear choice. The choice of strategic partnership, dialogue and openness. Leveraging our complementary strengths. And building mutual resilience. We are showing a fractured world that another way is possible.$

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank the brave 🇵🇹 🇨🇿 🇮🇹 🇬🇷 🇸🇪 🇭🇷 🇩🇪 🇸🇰 🇹🇷 teams deployed to France and Spain to fight the blaze. This is solidarity at its best, from the EU and beyond. The courage and dedication of these firefighters is a reminder that when we stand together, we are stronger.

In a session on the Middle East with regional partners. First, we need to ensure the full restoration of freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, without restrictions. Second, the events in the Strait have highlighted vulnerabilities that we need to adress. We should work together to alternative supply routes and new corridors, such as the IMEC. With better connectivity, we can transform vulnerabilities into opportunities. We also discussed Lebanon. Because a stable and peaceful Middle East requires a stable and peaceful Lebanon.

Our Union is not perfect, but it is a promise. That cooperation is stronger than confrontation. That law is stronger than force. Principles that apply not only to our European Union, but equally to Greenland.

We will never be able to match the sacrifice of the Ukrainian people. But we will support their fight for survival for as long as it takes. Because Ukraine’s security is our security. We already provided €193 bn in financial, military and humanitarian support. And we just agreed on €90 bn more for the next two years.

There is hope that this moment can open a path towards a free Iran. That is what the Iranian people deserve : freedom, dignity, and the right to decide their own future. But allow me to make one important point. Seeing the world as it is in no way diminishes our determination to fight for the world we want.

In Kyiv for the tenth time since the start of the war. To reaffirm that Europe stands unwaveringly with Ukraine, financially, militarily, and through this harsh winter. To underscore our enduring commitment to Ukraine’s just fight. And to send a clear message to the Ukrainian people and to the aggressor alike: we will not relent until peace is restored. Peace on Ukraine’s terms.

📍Sopot, Bulgaria, VMZ ammunition factory. Shells are produced here in large quantities. Not only for Europe’s stockpile but also for Ukraine’s defence. 1/3 of the weapons delivered to Ukraine at the start of the war came from Bulgaria. Thank you for your support to Ukraine’s defence. It benefits Europe’s security as a whole.

Europe’s social model defines who we are. As our societies are faced with challenges, including the rising cost of living, our responsibility is clear: protect, empower and support our citizens. The European Pillar of Social Rights is our compass. Setting the course for a Europe of fairness, opportunity and solidarity.

The people of Iran deserve freedom, dignity, and the right to decide their own future. Even if we know this will be fraught with danger and instability during and after the war. We are now seeing a regional conflict with unintended consequences. British military bases have been targeted in Cyprus. I want to reaffirm our full solidarity with Cyprus.

There is no justification for Hamas’ heinous act of terror. Israel has the right to defend itself. At the same time civilians in Gaza are also victims of Hamas. This is why we are tripling our humanitarian aid for Palestinians in need.

The situation in the Middle East remains volatile. But three things are clear: First, there is renewed hope for the long-suffering people of Iran. We strongly support their right to determine their own future. Second, we must do everything possible to de-escalate and stop the conflict spreading. Iran must cease its reckless and indiscriminate attacks on its neighbours and sovereign countries. Third, the stability of the region is of the utmost importance. The only lasting resolution is a diplomatic one. This means a credible transition for Iran which includes the halt to both the nuclear and ballistic programmes, as well as an end to destabilising action in the region. This afternoon, we will discuss the overall situation in the meeting of the Security College. Because from energy to nuclear, migration to security, Europe must be prepared for the fall-out from recent events.
