The future is Europe (and the #EUbudget). 🇪🇺

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Today we present the EU budget for 2028-2034.

It's a budget for a new era, that matches Europe’s ambition.

That addresses Europe’s challenges.

That strengthens our independence.⁩

Promised, delivered, implemented.

The EU’s strategy to achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine rests on two pillars: strengthening Ukraine; increasing pressure on Russia. Today we moved forward on both:

▪️ Unlocking the €90 billion loan to Ukraine, securing financial and military support for 2026–2027.
▪️ Adopting the 20th package of sanctions against Russia, reducing its ability to wage war.

Europe stands firm, united and unwavering in its support to Ukraine.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

We are on our way to Cyprus with good news.

I welcome the agreement from the Member States on the 90 billion euro loan to Ukraine for 2026-27 and on 20th sanctions package.

While Russia doubles down on its aggression, we are doubling down on our support to the brave Ukrainian nation enabling Ukraine to defend itself and putting pressure on Russia’s war economy.

Now we will move to swiftly implement on both fronts.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

It began with coal and steel. But from the very start, our Union was always meant to be much more.

75 years ago, in Paris, with the signing of the Treaty of Paris, Europe chose a different path.

One of unity over division, of Peace over war.

The European Coal and Steel Community was never just an industrial project.

It was a project for peace in Europe.

A project for shared prosperity.

A project for strength and independence in a world of great power competition.

The very same purpose that still drives our Union today.

On this day in 1957, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands signed the Treaty of Rome.

They laid the foundations for today’s European Union.

United in diversity, then and now 🇪🇺

The European Union will always be a reliable partner, a defender of the rules-based international order, and upholder of the United Nations Charter.

In response to today’s unpredictable world, we are deepening our cooperation with like-minded democracies and enhancing our resilience - with 12 international summits in 2025 and 9 security & defence partnerships.

Our network of trade agreements - the world's most extensive - enhances our global influence, promotes multilateralism, and stabilises the international rules-based order.

“Seeing the world as it is in no way diminishes our determination to fight for the world we want”.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

There is hope that this moment can open a path towards a free Iran.

That is what the Iranian people deserve : freedom, dignity, and the right to decide their own future.

But allow me to make one important point.

Seeing the world as it is in no way diminishes our determination to fight for the world we want.

[Sebastiano Putoto @agitpops]

“We will always defend and uphold the rules-based order that we helped to build … but we can no longer rely on it as the only way to defend our interests or assume its rules will shelter us from the complex threats that we face”.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

We can build a foreign policy that makes us stronger at home.

More influential globally.

And a better partner to countries around the world.

That is a core pillar of European independence.

That protects our interests and advances our values. https://t.co/tJnvjR8TCj

🇪🇺🏛️🇺🇦

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

I welcome the @Europarl_EN speedy adoption of our proposal for an additional €90 billion loan for Ukraine.

Ukraine's courage is unshakable.

And so is Europe's resolve to stand by its side.

Today and tomorrow!

Because a strong Ukraine makes all of Europe safer.

Great to hear the positive feedback from the 🇦🇺 Superfunds!

They very much appreciated the deep liquidity of the EU bond market and the opportunity to invest in a safe and liquid European asset as it fits perfectly to their large and further growing investment needs

[Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU 2026 @CY2026EU]

Today, the Council agreed its position on the legal framework to provide €90 billion in financial support to Ukraine for the years 2026-2027.
