We welcome President Trump’s efforts to stop the killing in Ukraine. Diplomacy combined with continued pressure on Russia is how we will achieve a just and lasting peace. One that respects Ukraine's sovereignty and the vital security interests of both Ukraine and Europe.

Five years after the fraudulent election in Belarus, our support for the Belarusian people remains resolute. We will not stop until every one of the more than 1,000 political prisoners is freed. Until the democratic aspirations of the Belarusian people are fulfilled. That is.

A free and independent press is an essential pillar of our democracy. With our European Media Freedom Act we want to improve its protection. So journalists can continue their crucial work in safety, without interference or intimidation.

The Israeli government’s decision to further extend its military operation in Gaza must be reconsidered. At the same time, there must be the release of all hostages, who are being held in inhumane conditions. And humanitarian aid must be given immediate and unhindered access to.

I have spoken with @ZelenskyyUa on the developments of the last days. We discussed the next steps on the way towards a negotiated peace agreement and Ukraine’s future membership in the European Union as well as its reconstruction. Europe’s position is clear. We fully support.

Europe stands with France as the worst wildfires in its recent history rage in Aude. My thoughts are with the brave firefighters as they battle the blaze. We are ready to mobilise rescEU resources to support efforts to bring the fires under control.

L'Europe se tient aux côtés de la France alors que les pires feux de forêt de son histoire récente font rage dans l'Aude. Mes pensées vont aux courageux pompiers qui luttent contre les flammes. Nous sommes prêts à mobiliser les ressources de rescEU pour soutenir les efforts.

President @ZelenskyyUa's signature on the law restoring NABU & SAPO independence is a welcome step. Ukraine’s rule of law and anti-corruption reforms should continue. They remain essential for Ukraine’s progress on the European path. The EU will continue to support these.

Together, the EU and the US are a market of 800 million people. And nearly 44 percent of global GDP. It’s the biggest trade deal ever ↓

Good conversation with @ZelenskyyUa. Ukraine has already achieved a lot on its European path. It must build on these solid foundations and preserve independent anti-corruption bodies, which are cornerstones of Ukraine’s rule of law. Ukraine can count on our support to deliver.

The EU stands with Cyprus as it fights major wildfires. We have urgently mobilised support via our Civil Protection Mechanism. This summer, nearly 670 firefighters from 14 countries and a #rescEU fleet of 22 planes and 4 helicopters are deployed to countries in need.

Both Europe and China are committed to multilateralism and the UN Charter. So we raised the crucial issue of Russia’s war on Ukraine. We asked China to use its influence to bring Russia to accept a ceasefire, enter peace talks and put an end to the bloodshed.

The EU-China cooperation on climate can set a global benchmark. So our joint press statement is an important step forward. We will work together to make COP30 a success.

Dear Premier Li, Europe believes in the power of free trade to drive prosperity. But it has to be fair. So we need to address market access, overcapacity and export control. Rebalancing is also in the interest of stronger 🇪🇺🇨🇳 relations ↓
