Great episode with @Gottemoeller — decades of hands-on experience with Russia and arms control. If you want to understand the current security landscape in all its complexity (not just hot takes), give this one a listen.

Mis condolencias a los familiares y allegados de las víctimas mortales de los trágicos incendios registrados en Almería, Andalucía.

Los fenómenos meteorológicos extremos y los devastadores incendios forestales están afectando a millones de personas en toda Europa.

Estos acontecimientos ejercen una enorme presión sobre los servicios de emergencia y los sistemas sanitarios. La Unión Europea seguirá apoyando a sus Estados miembros reforzando la prevención y la preparación, invirtiendo en resiliencia y garantizando que nuestra respuesta colectiva ante las emergencias climáticas sea rápida, coordinada y eficaz.

Quiero expresar mi más profundo agradecimiento a los equipos de emergencia que trabajan incansablemente para contener los incendios y llevar a cabo las labores de rescate, así como a los Estados miembros que demuestran la solidaridad europea apoyándose mutuamente a través del Mecanismo de Protección Civil de la Unión Europea.

MYTH: 'EU sanctions block Russian food and fertilisers from reaching African markets.'
FACT: EU sanctions do not prohibit Russian food, grain or fertiliser exports.
When food prices rose, the trigger was not EU sanctions. It was war, blocked routes, attacks and uncertainty.

Last year alone, Russia rejected seven peace proposals. Instead, it chose to continue raining drones and missiles on Ukrainian civilians, all while accusing Ukraine and the EU of being the ‘warmongers.’

[European Union in Mozambique @EUinMoz]

Uma visão de longo prazo exige mais do que ambição e sim instituições fortes, diálogo inclusivo e uma implementação eficaz. Na Conferência sobre o Desenvolvimento Inclusivo e Sustentável, a UE🇪🇺 reafirmou o contínuo apoio a Moç🇲🇿 na construção de um futuro mais próspero.

With President @ZelenskyyUa in Ankara.

We are moving forward on Ukraine’s EU accession. The opening of a new negotiating cluster should be coming soon.

There is growing global momentum to deliver peace through strength: increasing financial, energy and military support for Ukraine while stepping up pressure on Russia to engage in meaningful peace talks.

Russia’s escalating attacks on Ukraine’s cities and infrastructure are proof it has failed to achieve its objectives on the battlefield.

We stand with Ukraine, every step of the way.
