This morning, Europe woke up in grief and disbelief after yesterday’s horrific attack in Krakow.

Our flags fly at half-mast in honour of the victims and the brave first responders.

They stand for European unity and solidarity.

Stronger than hatred.
Stronger than extremism.

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

In solidarity with the Polish people, the European flags in front of our headquarters in Brussels have been lowered to half-mast following the tragic events in Kraków.

Europa łączy się z Polską w bólu i solidarności.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

W obliczu tragicznego zamachu moje myśli i serce są z poszkodowanymi, ich bliskimi oraz wszystkimi mieszkańcami Krakowa.

Składam najszczersze wyrazy współczucia rodzinom ofiar.

Dziękuję bohaterskim funkcjonariuszom policji za działanie z narażeniem życia.

Europa łączy się z Polską w bólu i solidarności.

Ce qui définit un pays aujourd'hui n'est pas sa place sur une carte.

Ce sont les valeurs qu’il défend.

Et l’avenir qu’il souhaite bâtir avec les autres.

C’est ce qui rend l’Europe et le Canada si proches.

A Montréal nous ouvrons un tout nouveau chapitre de notre histoire commune.

• Closer cooperation in space ... and in the information space.

And so much more ↓

We discussed the idea of Canada being the first Associate Member of the EU.

And what it would mean in practice.

A focus on the prosperity & security of our people.

Through closer policymaking, participation in EU programmes and inter-institutional work.

We're at the start of a journey ↓

Congratulations to my friend @LulaOficial on his electoral victory.

Democracy and multilateralism have won in Brazil.

Europe’s partnership with Brazil is thriving.

We will remain by your side for the years to come.

Together we will keep working closely for free and open trade.

A rules-based global order.

And strong ambitions for our climate.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Today, the people of Serbia turned out in record numbers to shape their country’s future.

Congratulations to the Student List on its victory in the parliamentary elections.

We stand ready to support reforms on the rule of law, media freedom, the fight against corruption and strong democratic institutions, and to work together to advance Serbia’s future in the European Union.

Six months ago, Hungary voted for a new chapter.

Turning the page on years of eroded freedoms and trust.

And the banks of the Danube who saw people march and die 70 years ago.

That night saw people dance and celebrate a revived democracy in Hungary.

Once again, a powerful message of hope was sent to the world.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

On Ukraine.

Our support is as strong as ever - from budget to defence.

But as Russia escalates its reckless war of aggression, Ukraine has additional needs.

Europe will step up. And so must our global partners.

And we will keep working with Ukraine and the US towards a just and sustainable peace.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

On the next EU budget.

It was explicitly designed to address our priorities.

So we need to keep ambition.

That means enough flexibility to respond to crises.

And a strong package of new own resources.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

On energy.

Households and industry are paying the price for a war far beyond our borders.

On the short-term, we are acting at global and EU level.

Releasing oil reserves, extending our temporary State aid, postponing methane rules by 1 year, supporting refineries and pooling energy demand.

The mid-term answer is clear: replacing imported fossil fuels with electricity made in Europe.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

We have had a long and dense European Council.

After these two days of discussions, the way ahead is clearer.

We will continue to deliver ↓

Congratulations to lawyer and human rights activist Navanethem “Navi” Pillay on her Nobel Peace Prize.

Few have devoted their lives to justice, peace and human dignity like she did.

From the violence of apartheid in South Africa to the horrors of the Rwandan genocide, she has confronted some of humanity’s darkest chapters.

She has looked the brutality of injustice in the eye and never looked away.

She is the defender of the persecuted, the vulnerable, the voiceless and the excluded.

Of the rule of law over the right of might.

In a world that needs justice more than ever, her courage and moral clarity are a precious compass.

In Sachen Energie ⚡️ haben wir in Europa in den vergangenen Jahren auf die harte Tour gelernt, schreibt 🇪🇺 EU-Energiekommissar @DanJoergensen heute bei @tonline.

Welche Konsequenzen wir ziehen müssen, schreibt er hier ⬇️

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Today marks three years since the terrorist attacks of 7 October in Israel.

We honour the victims and stand with the families who still carry the heavy weight of grief.

We remember the young lives cut short at a music festival. And the long ordeal of the hostages.

The EU stands with all those whose lives were forever changed by that day.

The unspeakable savagery and terror of 7 October must never happen again.

The EU remains ready to help turn today’s fragile ceasefire into a durable peace, based on a two-state solution.

And remains equally convinced that nothing justifies terror.

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

We've put forward a package on pre-enlargement policy reviews.

These set out the action needed to prepare the EU, as well as future countries joining.

At the same time, we seek to better protect EU values and the rule of law in the enlargement context.
