The new Ambassador of the European Union to Nepal, Charles Whiteley, presented his credentials to the Right Honourable President of Nepal. The ceremony formally marks the start of his mandate as EU Ambassador to Nepal. 🇪🇺🇳🇵
No one wants peace more than Ukraine. The EU stands united and unwavering in its support for Ukraine and for all efforts to bring Russia’s war of aggression to an end.
Yet Russia continues to escalate, intensifying its reckless attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine and its hybrid attacks targeting EU Member States.
This will not go unanswered. Today, EU Member States adopted nearly 1,600 new sanctions listings targeting Russia’s military-industrial complex - the largest single expansion of our sanctions list since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Russia’s actions will not weaken our resolve. We will continue to step up the pressure until Russia comes to the negotiating table and demonstrates a genuine commitment to ending the war.
Every missile fired at a Ukrainian city starts on a Russian production line.
On 12 October, the EU sanctioned 826 companies in Russia’s military supply chain and 743 of their CEOs: the largest set of listings the EU has ever agreed.
The largest set of listings the EU has ever approved.

Excellent meeting with UN Secretary General @antonioguterres, together with @vonderleyen and HRVP @kajakallas, ahead of UNGA81.
The EU will always remain a supporter of multilateralism and of a rules-based international order with a reformed @UN at its heart.
We thanked Secretary-General Guterres for our close cooperation throughout his term, from Ukraine to the Middle East, and on climate.
As well as for driving the UN80 reforms forward.
The goal is clear: a UN fit for today’s world. More effective. More responsive. That turns global cooperation into solutions on the ground.
📍 Hello New York! Great to be here for the 81st edition of the @UN General Assembly. Looking forward to fruitful exchanges with partners from around the world. #UNGA81#UNGA
The EU and its Member States are the largest financial contributors to the UN system, year after year. Over 21% of the peacekeeping budget in 2024. More than 60% of the Peacebuilding Fund since it began. Europe shows up.
The UN High-Level Week is about to kick off in New York.
For over 80 years, the UN has been the world’s common ground, bringing countries together to tackle global challenges.
The EU is proud to be its biggest backer.
Together with @vonderleyen and @eucopresident, we met with UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres to discuss how to strengthen cooperation in a world that needs more dialogue and trust than ever.
With @eu_echo support, UNICEF is setting up temporary learning centres for children in areas affected by floods, where they can learn, play and reconnect.
Thank you, European Union, for standing with children and families when they need it most.
