Today is a big day for our region and for Europe as a whole. The Baltic states—good friends of Ukraine—have officially disconnected from Russia’s power grid. Their energy systems are now fully synchronized with the continental European network.
I congratulate to our friends—Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia—on this achievement. It’s important that Poland is helping, once again proving that cooperation between all of us means independence for each of us.

Ukraine already did this back in 2022, and now the Baltic states have finally freed themselves from this dependence. Moscow can no longer use energy as a weapon against them. This also means Europe is now even more united.
More cooperation is needed with America—LNG gas, oil. More efforts are needed with partners in regions neighboring the EU to import the necessary energy—the Caucasus, the Middle East, North Africa. The less Europe depends on Russia, the sooner we can guarantee real security for everyone.
I am grateful to the European Union for supporting our region and our shared security.
BREAKING: Actor Richard Gere Just called President Donald Trump a "bully" and a "thug" in Spain
Richard Gere: "We're in a very dark place in America, where we have a bully, a thug, who's the president of the United States."
BREAKING: Donald Trump just announced new 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Trump is doing this now while Americans are distracted watching the Super Bowl. This is going to drastically increase prices for the American people.
Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority.
Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.
