June 1, in #Med #HighSeas IRINI 🇪🇺conducted a flag verification boarding of EU-sanctioned MV ONEIROI after the first carried out on MV NELSA on May 11 under Art. 110 of #UNCLOS following suspicions that they were falsely flagged & part of EU efforts to counter #RussianShadowFleet

The latest ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon offers a chance to prevent a return to full-scale hostilities.

But the death of a UNIFIL peacekeeper and continued skirmishes underscore the tenuous nature of what was agreed.

The best way to reduce the threat posed by Hezbollah is to strengthen the Lebanese state, empower its institutions, and restore its monopoly on the use of force.

To support this effort, the EU today agreed to provide an extra €100 million to Lebanon’s Armed Forces.

Claims that the Baltic States allow Ukraine to use their airspace are utter nonsense - and Russia knows it.

Moscow’s threats against the Baltic States are not a sign of strength, but of weakness.

Russia is failing on the battlefield in Ukraine and is trying to intimidate us into reducing our support for Ukraine.

The right response is to do the opposite: increase our support to Ukraine and boost Europe’s defences even further.

It was good to meet with @SecGenNATO Mark Rutte today to speak about our support to Ukraine, Iran’s latest unprovoked attacks, and European defence readiness.

NATO is the cornerstone of European defence. We agree that we must work together on strengthening Europe's contribution to NATO. A more European NATO is long overdue.

EU Defence Ministers will discuss this in Brussels next week, including how to ramp up the European contribution.
