The EU continues to support Ukraine militarily, economically and through diplomatic efforts - which means that we need a direct diplomatic channel with Russia.
The time to negotiate is not there yet. But we need to establish a direct contact to be able to listen and convey our points.
The EU leaders confirmed that the EU needs to be seated at a future negotiating table.
And let me be clear: Only Ukraine can negotiate on behalf of Ukraine.
MD Africa @llombartpatUE visit to @EUMAMMozambique HQ & Training Camp in Maputo. Security & development go hand in hand. The EU is proud to support the Mozambican Forces as they build the capacity needed to protect civilians and secure a peaceful, stable future for the north. 👇

The US and Iran have announced a deal to end the war and re-open the Strait of Hormuz.
This marks a potential breakthrough. It can give much needed space for deeper negotiations on Iran’s nuclear programme and other critical issues. Once implemented, the deal should also ease the global energy crisis.
I have spoken to my Iranian and Gulf counterparts in recent days, and today, EU Foreign Ministers will discuss how the EU can be closely involved in the next phase.
From economic leverage to nuclear expertise and longstanding relationships with Gulf partners, the EU stands ready to contribute to a sustainable resolution.
