Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

[António Costa @eucopresident]

Confident, collected, creative.

This is how the EU should approach a difficult world. This is how the EU will succeed. #EUDiplomacy

So proud of the colleagues who made this possible and will be deployed on the ground!

Europe is here to help: the EU’s civilian border mission deploys today to the Rafah Crossing at the request of the Palestinians and the Israelis.

It will support Palestinian border personnel and allow the transfer of individuals out of Gaza, including those who need medical care

We’ve lost one of our best. May Raffaella rest in power. Her memory will stay with all of us.

[EUinAfghanistan @EUinAfghanistan]

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our former Head of Delegation, @RaffaellaIodic2.
She was a true friend of Afghanistan, a champion of women & girls, and a beloved colleague to many.
Our delegation is in deep shock & mourning
May her memory be a blessing

The EU and United States are stronger and safer when we work together.
The transatlantic relationship is the biggest economic and security partnership in the world.

As with all partnerships, they must be built on what works best for both sides. This will not change.

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

We stand with the Georgian people and their choice for a European future.

We condemn the violence against protesters & regret signals from ruling party not to pursue Georgia's path to EU and democratic backsliding of the county.

This will have direct consequences from EU side.

We should never take democracy for granted.

Use your vote. Or others will decide for you.

I took this pictures during a recent visit to Georgia. I was impressed by the European flags everywhere and the clear EU aspirations of its citizens. The Foreign Influence Law puts those aspirations in question and will shutter the space for its vibrant civil society.

This is the best news ever: UN names veteran EU official Astrid Schomaker as new biodiversity chief.

So proud that one of our own will be leading the world’s efforts to preserve biodiversity.

Congratulations Astrid!!! https://t.co/qLmiEWIgy4

We are mourning with the families and friends of the @WCKitchen humanitarian aid workers who lost their lives in Gaza.

Humanitarian aid workers must always be protected, in line with international humanitarian law.

We call for a thorough investigation into this tragedy.

Racial discrimination harms individuals and weakens societies.

Every one of us will benefit when racism is eradicated.

Each of us has a role to play against racism and inequality.

On International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, let’s #FightRacism.

What a pleasure to represent my fantastic colleagues at the #GCM Regional Review!!

[EU at the UN - Geneva #MultilateralismMatters @EU_UNGeneva]

The #GCM Regional Review for Europe just concluded. The final session addressed the relevance of intl partnerships to an effective & comprehensive approach to migration. A clear message: Well managed migration is beneficial for all- migrants & countries along the migration route.

[Mercedes GARCIA @MercedesGP73]

Great to hear the voices of young migrants represented by ⁦Ms. Huebi today at the #GCM. As recommended by her, the EU works on legal pathways and whole of route approaches.
