Once, the truth about the Soviet occupation of the #Baltics was ‘inconvenient.’ Now, calling Russia’s war against #Ukraine what it is has become ‘disrespectful.’
@POTUS is frustrated that @ZelenskyyUa won’t play along. But capitulation can’t be called peace.
This morning, #Lithuania🇱🇹 woke up truly connected to Europe-stronger, independent and in control of its own energy.
Our electricity, our future, our power.
A historic moment for the #Baltics and a win for all of Europe! ⚡️🇪🇺

The new 🇪🇺College of Commissioners is approved today.
My wish is simple: defend the progress achieved in the last term—we owe it to people, businesses, and the environment.
No steps backward, only forward.
As Commissioner, I saw how #deforestation devastates land & entire communities. I witnessed its impact on animals amid constant forest destruction.
Now, the EPP, with support from far-right parties, is trying to weaken the #EUDR.
This is a huge step backward for our planet.
🇱🇹Coming from Lithuania, we know all too well the cost of Russian aggression. Europe can’t afford “war fatigue”-if #Ukraine falls, where does Russia stop?
History shows that when you try to avoid conflict at all costs, you may still end up in a war-often unprepared.

🎉 Congrats to Demokratai “Vardan Lietuvos” on their 14 seats secured in the Lithuanian Parliament.
🇱🇹 We are looking forward to seeing them bring expertise to form a stable government for a better future!
🌻 This result positions them as a major player in Lithuanian politics.
Today, #Lithuania🇱🇹 goes to the polls.
With extremist parties and Russian narratives seeking to sway Europe, I hope Lithuanians will choose democracy over populism and vote for pro-European parties that secure a strong & united future of the country.
Good news before the weekend: the EU has agreed on Chinese #EV tariffs.
As the last major market open to China, the EU’s #automotive sector is at risk. Tariffs set a fair playing field, driving the EU’s automotive industry to develop innovative, clean & affordable solutions.
35 years ago today, 2 million hands united across Vilnius, Riga, and Tallinn in a 600km chain for freedom.
The #BalticWay wasn’t just a moment, it was a movement.
Our freedom was hard-won, and now we stand with #Ukraine as they fight for theirs.
Who is Ursula von der Leyen and how does she hold onto power? VdL is at the heart of European influence and relations with the US – but to many, a mystery. So here is our Power Play pod about her. @JamilAnderlini@VSinkevicius and @HankeVela takes us behind f the scenes. Makers @pasnowden@cristinagzalez
I guess this is the end.
The best experience ever, many thanks to @VSinkevicius for the incredible opportunity to learn so much from him.
Excited to continue in the next position!
Commissioner @AdinaValean and Commissioner @VSinkevicius have decided to resign in order to take up their seat at the European Parliament, to which they have been elected.
Executive Vice-President @MarosSefcovic and Commissioner @WBHoekstra are temporarily assuming their portfolios.

Just dropped off the #RestlessBrussels posters, flyers and stickers for Thursday's big voter outreach effort 🗳️
If you want a poster for your office or a sticker for your phone to help you register people, let me know!
🇪🇺Countries had their final say: #NRL has just been adopted!
This is the right decision and what citizens, scientists and industry kept calling for.
We are still on track to reverse the biodiversity loss, let’s now start work together and show that EU is still leading the way.
Happy 20th Anniversary of Lithuania in the European Union! 🎉
We've grown stronger and thrived together.
We've built bridges and broken barriers, uniting as one.
Here's to our past, present, and a promising future🇱🇹🇪🇺
#20YearsTogether
Today marks a significant milestone as I take leadership of the Union of Democrats "For Lithuania" for the upcoming @EUparliament elections.
United in purpose, we champion values dear to me: democracy, unquestionable respect for every citizen & fostering the growth of 🇱🇹 & 🇪🇺.
It is one of my life’s biggest honours to be awarded with the Order of Merit of Ukraine.
I am filled with gratitude.
It has my name on it, but belongs to my team, @EU_ENV & @EU_MARE colleagues, for their unwavering support to brave Ukrainian people.
#SlavaUkraini 🇪🇺🇺🇦
