Really exciting to have “Snapshot” nominated as Best Short film in the @NatDanceAwards!! It was an incredible project where I had the honour of composing the original music! Congrats to all the team and fingers crossed!

Russia’s hybrid attacks are not just about Finland's security.

This is about the security of the entire EU.

This is why I was here today.

To tell you that Europe stands by your side.

For the security of the borders and to support the border regions.

The budget needs a revision to:
1. allocate money for new priorities
2. support Ukraine
3. create reserves for unforeseen developments.
We need the Council decision as soon as possible, so final negotiations with Parliament can be concluded & the decision put in place early 2024

[Siegfried Muresan 🇷🇴🇪🇺 @SMuresan]

We have adopted the EU multi-annual financial framework for 2021-2027 in 2020. We have done many things with the EU budget since, including help for Ukraine.
We reduced energy dependence on Russia, invested in defense, managed migration, improved border control.

[Siegfried Muresan 🇷🇴🇪🇺 @SMuresan]

Why Viktor #Orban blocking the decision on the EU budget and #Ukraine financing is bad news, but solving it in January in the Council is good enough.

The EU has a budget for 2024 which I negotiated as @Europarl_EN rapporteur, but this revision is needed for long term stability.

[Soplnon | Fondador @SilophinSLBT]

It is very worrying that #EUCO did not yet agree on a revision of the EU's long-term budget. The #MFF is a powerful tool and is crucial for reacting to any unforeseen crises. It is extremely concerning that we are now in a very uncertain place until talks resume in January. 1/2

[Soplnon | Fondador @SilophinSLBT]

The @EPPGroup stands firmly with #Ukraine and fully supports the EU's pledge to provide the much-needed €50 billion. We urge all EU leaders to commit to this funding, for an EU accession country which is battling against brutal Russian aggression. Ukraine is Europe. #EUCO 2/2

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I met with President @Niinisto to thank Finland for 21 packages of defense aid for our warriors, as well as for doubling artillery ammunition production in Finland.

Such steps are critical not only for our freedom but also for the freedom of other European countries, particularly those that share a border with Russia. The European security environment has fundamentally changed, and we can only protect our shared freedom by acting together and with long-term commitment.

We also talked about the Peace Formula and how to achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine, throughout Europe, and beyond.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The #EUCO decision to open EU accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova has been adopted.

I thank everyone who worked for this to happen and everyone who helped. I congratulate every Ukrainian on this day.

I also congratulate Moldova and personally @SanduMaiamd.

History is made by those who don’t get tired of fighting for freedom.

[Petteri Orpo @PetteriOrpo]

Greetings from European Council. Good to have you here, @donaldtusk! Finland & Poland are close allies and I look forward to working with you. In these times our cooperation for a more secure Europe is extremely valuable. 🇫🇮🇵🇱🇪🇺

[Charles Michel @CharlesMichel]

The European Council has decided to open accession negotiations with Ukraine & Moldova.

#EUCO granted candidate status to Georgia. And the EU will open negotiations with Bosnia and Herzegovina once the necessary degree of compliance with the membership criteria is reached and has invited the commission to report by March with a view to taking such a decision.

A clear signal of hope for their people and for our continent.

Prime Ministers of Estonia and Finland @kajakallas @PetteriOrpo: ”As we convene at the European Council this week, a resolute demonstration of unfaltering long-term support for Ukraine is paramount. We will help defend Ukraine & we will not be threatened.” https://t.co/vOCIjeJqLs

[Sauli Niinistö @niinisto]

We had profound discussions on the geopolitical situation with President @RTErdogan in Ankara today.

Türkiye has now decided to send the ratification of Finland’s NATO membership to its parliament. I look forward to further deepening the cooperation of our countries as allies.

[Sauli Niinistö @niinisto]

Kävimme tänään Ankarassa perusteelliset keskustelut geopoliittisesta tilanteesta presidentti Erdoğanin kanssa. Turkki on nyt päättänyt lähettää Suomen Nato-jäsenyyden ratifioinnin parlamentilleen. Odotan maidemme välisen yhteistyön syventämistä entisestään liittolaisina.

[Petteri Orpo @PetteriOrpo]

Nato-jäsenyytemme etenee nyt kohti loppusuoraa ja pian pääsemme rakentamaan Nato-Suomea. Kiitos tasavallan presidentti Niinistölle johtajuudesta. Työ ei kuitenkaan ole vielä valmis ja Suomen on annettava kaikki tuki Ruotsin jäsenyydelle. Tämä on kansallinen etumme. 🇫🇮🇹🇷🇸🇪

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

On February 24, millions of us made a choice. Not a white flag, but the blue and yellow one. Not fleeing, but facing. Resisting & fighting.
It was a year of pain, sorrow, faith, and unity. And this year, we remained invincible. We know that 2023 will be the year of our victory!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Historic. Timely. Brave. I welcomed @POTUS in Kyiv as Russian full-scale aggression approaches its one-year mark. I am thankful to the U.S. for standing with Ukraine and for our strong partnership. We are determined to work together to ensure Ukraine’s victory.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

Moldova's place is in the European family.

In this difficult geopolitical context, you can count on @Europarl_EN's trust & solidarity.

President @sandumaiamd, your leadership & courage in pursuing reforms towards EU membership have our full support.

We will walk together 🇪🇺🇲🇩
