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.

The HR/VP @kajakallas met with African Ambassadors to the EU to mark #AfricaDay and follow up on the Luanda Summit. Constructive exchanges on EU-Africa relations, recent geopolitical developments, and opportunities for cooperation.

HR/VP @kajakallas met with Costa Rican FM @Manuel_Tovar_R in Brussels, offering congratulations to him and President Fernández @Laurapresi2026 on their new roles.

That FM Tovar chose Europe as his first trip abroad speaks for itself: shared views on multilateral issues, investment potential, and common security challenges are laying the groundwork for closer ties.

Another night of terror in Ukraine. Another reminder what Ukrainian families endure every single day.

Russia's massive attack last night killed at least 21 people, leaving around 120 people injured.

There must be accountability for these deaths under international law.

Over 20 years ago, @eu_echo's Peter Biro witnessed the horrors of war in Sudan’s Darfur region. Returning now, in the 4th year of the current conflict, he found the suffering deeper, the displacement greater and the world’s attention drifting elsewhere.
