Ukraine believes that every democratic nation in Europe deserves to be a full member of the EU. And we are working as actively as possible to achieve this.

Please, do not forget that Ukraine merits it because it has paid more than any other European country for its right to be free, independent, and European. This right is not only for Ukraine. It is also the right of other nations to be independent from Russia.

The future of Europe – free, united and in peace – is being decided in our defense. That shows how unique our situation is. I’m grateful to everyone who recognizes this and who takes the necessary steps to show that Europe truly values and supports it.

The most important such step could be a fast-track path for Ukraine to join the EU.

Today, there are significant results in support of our country and our people – a productive meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group was held. Three key things.

First: new contributions to the PURL program totaling more than $1 billion. This is the largest amount of PURL support announced within the framework of UDCG meetings. We thank Norway, the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Latvia, Iceland, and Australia.

Second: support for the Czech initiative and the supply of long-range shells. Partners announced more than $500 million in assistance for this area. Ukraine will receive some of the long-range munitions as early as this month. We are grateful to Norway, Denmark, Luxembourg, and Spain.

Third: contributions of about $1 billion for the production of Ukrainian drones and missiles. We appreciate the assistance of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Norway.

We thank everyone who stands with Ukraine!

I met with Prime Minister of Poland @donaldtusk in Brussels. We discussed issues on the bilateral agenda and Ukraine’s EU integration, as well as remaining challenges facing all European countries because of Russian aggression.

I am grateful to Poland for supporting Ukraine from the first days of Russian invasion, and this is something that is truly important for our region and all of Europe. Our shared security interests and the freedom of every nation that lives next to Russia must be protected.

I met with Prime Minister of Bulgaria Rumen Radev. Thank you for the substantive talks. We discussed in detail the development of our cooperation and energy security, including at the regional level. We also addressed preparations for consultations between Ukraine and Bulgaria aimed at developing joint projects. I invited Bulgaria to begin work on a special agreement in the Drone Deal format.

We agreed to task our teams with following up on all the issues discussed and preparing a number of bilateral documents.

During our meeting with Prime Minister of Greece Kyriakos Mitsotakis @kmitsotakis, I briefed him in detail on the frontline situation and the consequences of Russian attacks against Ukraine. I spoke about the G7 Summit meetings, agreements, and diplomatic efforts to bring peace closer. We paid special attention to Ukraine’s EU accession. After the opening of the first negotiating cluster, opening the remaining five clusters as soon as possible is a priority.

I am grateful to Greece for all the military assistance already provided and for its contribution to the PURL program. One of the most important tasks is to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense and expand our anti-ballistic capabilities.

There is no army without funding. And when we talk about Europe’s security, we are talking about its foundation – the Ukrainian army.

Our army has real experience of modern warfare and has been able to hold back a force as large as Russian aggression.
We need to provide long-term security guarantees for Europe, and that means long-term financial guarantees for the Ukrainian army.

Maintaining the army, providing the equipment it needs, paying soldiers, and funding military contracts – all of this is necessary. The Coalition of the Willing, and the European Union as part of it, and your countries as members of it, can develop the financial instruments needed to make this possible.

With Prime Minister of Slovakia @RobertFicoSVK, we discussed European integration, mutually beneficial energy cooperation, and the results of the G7 Évian Summit. I spoke about diplomatic efforts for peace. We also discussed the next round of intergovernmental Ukrainian-Slovak consultations.

I am grateful to Slovakia for supporting Ukraine’s EU integration and the opening of the first negotiating cluster. We count on progress in opening the remaining clusters in the nearest future.

Ahead of the European Council meeting, we discussed with António Costa @eucopresident and Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen further steps on Ukraine’s path toward accession to the European Union and coordinated our positions. It is important to open the remaining five negotiating clusters in the near future. We also expect to receive the first tranche from the EU financial support package soon in order to strengthen our defense.

Special attention was paid to security cooperation and our work with the European Union on an agreement in the Drone Deal format. We also discussed defense support for Ukraine, above all strengthening air defense and protection against Russian ballistic missiles.

I am grateful to the leaders for their support and readiness to work together for the common security of both Ukraine and all of Europe.

Today, the Ukrainian army is effectively the main army in Europe that can deter and resist large-scale aggression over a long period of time. And after this war, this must remain the case.

The existence of such an army should help prevent any future aggressive moves by Putin. That is why we need to start thinking now about how to provide the funding the Ukrainian army will need in the years ahead.

If we want Europe to have the strongest army, one that can truly respond to any threat, this is only possible with long-term cooperation with Ukraine and long-term support for the Ukrainian army. This is a realistic new security architecture for Europe.

Thank you, António, Ursula, and all the leaders who support Ukraine and are ready to work with us to make both Ukraine and the EU stronger.

After the changes in Hungary, there is clearly a new opportunity to strengthen relations both within the EU and between the EU and Ukraine. For Ukraine, being a good neighbor has never been just words. And now we are ready to work as closely as possible, and with mutual respect, with every one of our EU neighbors.

I want to thank our neighbors – Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia – and all other EU countries, and assure you that Ukraine is committed to mutual respect.

Yesterday, I raised two urgent issues with Mark Rutte. The first is the number of unmanned ground vehicles. The second is long-range artillery ammunition. Right now, there is not enough of either. We need both urgently.

The funding being allocated for this is not enough. The quantities Europe is producing are not enough. What the Ukrainian army is receiving is not enough. But we can increase all of this. The capacity is there.

We all see that Putin is now relying on one last thing: constant missile attacks. He has ballistic missiles. So we need anti-ballistic capabilities.

We’ve done a lot to defend against drones, and our interception rate is above 90 percent. That is a serious achievement. We are also defending against cruise missiles. But Russian ballistic missiles remain a problem, and we need an answer to that problem.

Our anti-ballistic coalition – all the countries that are part of it – must demonstrate full capability and deliver real results – better this year.

By this winter, we should already see concrete outcomes from our joint work on anti-ballistic defense.

During an audience with His Majesty King Philippe of the Belgians, I spoke about the consequences of Russian attacks against Ukraine, including the damage to the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. We discussed the need to strengthen sanctions pressure on Russia, the situation on the frontline, and diplomatic work with partners.

We also spoke about Ukraine’s European integration and the development of defense cooperation. I thank Belgium for its solidarity with our people and its continued support.

🔴 Intercepted documents reveal Russian false flag operation in Bryansk bus attack.

Internal Russian files obtained by the SBU show no Ukrainian drones were near the site of the recent incident involving a bus from Belarus, confirming the attack was a staged operation by Russia.

For decades, ADL has built the tools to track hate and fight back. Now we're proud to bring that expertise into @LULAC's work so anti-Latino hate can be documented with the rigor it deserves. We announced a first-of-its-kind partnership today at #LULAC2026. https://t.co/aXj28grgGS

In January, we noted Ye's apology while making clear that actions, not words, are what accountability looks like. As his concerts come to Tampa and beyond, we genuinely hope he holds to it.

We know Jewish communities across the country felt, and still feel, the weight and harm of his past words and actions. When antisemitism is normalized and platformed to audiences of his size and scale, the impact can be long and lasting.

[ADL @ADL]

Antisemitic incidents in Germany remain alarmingly high according to the 2025 report from our partners RIAS @Report_Antisem with almost 24 reported incidents per day on average, totaling over 8700 for the year.

68% of all documented incidents were characterized as Israel-related antisemitism.

Jewish communities around the world are under tremendous pressure from antisemitism. Governments, civil society, all of us need to turn the tide. https://t.co/po7sC14Sdv

[ADL @ADL]

ADL and the @brandeiscenter urge city officials in Somerville, MA to reject a proposed BDS ordinance that would require the city to boycott and divest from companies that do business with Israel. This BDS ordinance is divisive, harmful and unconstitutional, and will only incite further hostility toward Jewish and Israeli residents, harm local businesses and expose taxpayers to higher costs.
