We have a deal. #Unity
All 27 leaders agreed on an additional €50 billion support package for Ukraine within the EU budget.
This locks in steadfast, long-term, predictable funding for #Ukraine.
EU is taking leadership & responsibility in support for Ukraine; we know what is at stake.
Regardless of their politics, there is never any doubt that farmers know how to make their point. #Brussels essentially shut down, the whole city awake all night... point made.
The way forward is clear:
Humanitarian ceasefire.
Respect for int'l humanitarian law.
Unconditional release of hostages.
Protection of civilians, hospitals, UN facilities, shelters & schools.
Ending use of civilians as human shields.
More humanitarian aid entering Gaza.
NOW.
The need for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza is getting more urgent with every passing hour.
The parties to the conflict & the international community face an immediate & fundamental responsibility:
Stop this inhuman collective suffering & dramatically expand humanitarian aid.
Together and united we stand - divided we fall: the 🇪🇺’s commitment to uphold and strengthen the 🇺🇳 as the cornerstone of our world order remains rock solid.
EU’s Political and Security Committee engagement with UN SG Guterres underlined our common wish to work on shared goals.
After 2 busy and successful days supporting the EU Political and Security Committee on US engagement in Washington, excited to start a new round of meetings with the UN today in New York. Proud to be part of this team @eu_eeas @FienBZ
And it’s a wrap for 🇪🇺Political and Security Committee’s working visit to @washingtondc - had fruitful conversations with @tomkean and @USRepKeating as well as with @JonathanKFiner
Our transatlantic ties are strong 🇺🇸🇪🇺
We are stronger together & united we #StandWithUkraine
Foreign policy analyst personalty test.
Here are 4 photos from international summit meetings from the last 3-4 days.
The one that you think tells us most about the future of international affairs will tell you what sort of foreign policy wonk you are.
On 22 May 1998, the Good Friday Agreement was put to the people in two referendums.
The people of the island of Ireland, North and South, voted to resoundingly endorse the Good Friday Agreement, with majorities of 71% and 94% voting ‘Yes’ respectively.
A periodic reminder on the day of 🇫🇮#Finland's accession to #NATO:
One of the reasons 🇷🇺 used to motivate its war of aggression to 🇺🇦#Ukraine was to prevent an important neighbour from joining the alliance.
If that's not a losing strategy, then I don't know what that is.
In the U S of A this week en vacance so watching the story of the day on its home turf... he is giving a terrible speech but suspect this indictment will play in Trump's favour
Under extreme circumstances, Belarusians stand up for their rights and freedom.
On Belarus Freedom Day, we reiterate the EU’s solidarity and commitment to continue to support the Belarusian people and to work for a democratic, independent and #FreeBelarus.
Participated in the opening of European Humanitarian Forum. Humanitarian needs are at historic high, aggravated by Russia’s aggression in Ukraine
We need to expand donor base, ensure respect for IHL & strengthen triple nexus - humanitarian assistance, development & peacebuilding

We are witnessing an alarming global pushback on womens’ and girls’ human rights.
As EU, we will not rest in our pursuit to make gender equality a reality, in Europe and in the world.
Every day is #InternationalWomensDay.

What a tragedy in Greece. EU citizens and the whole world deserve guaranteed safe and extensive public transport networks. This is an achievable goal. συλλυπητήρια - condolences - to this wonderful country
Today’s announcement of an agreement between the EU & UK on the Protocol very welcome.
It's the result of genuine engagement and listening to concerns raised by citizens and business in NI - and paves the way for a new chapter in EU-UK relations amidst global challenges. (1/2)
