Crowds flood the streets outside Hungary's parliament — celebrating Magyar's election victory as Orbán concedes defeat.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Hungary has chosen Europe.

Europe has always chosen Hungary.

A country reclaims its European path.

The Union grows stronger.

Magyarország Európát választotta.

Európa mindig Magyarországot választotta.

Egy ország visszatér az európai útjára.

Az Unió erősebbé válik.

On 29 August, the people of Iceland will vote on whether to restart talks on joining the EU.

If Icelanders vote to go ahead, we are determined to quickly advance negotiations on Iceland’s priorities.

With Foreign Minister @thorgkatrin I discussed Iceland’s specific realities.

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

The EU and Iceland are close friends.
Our security is shared, and so are the challenges we face.

Today’s signature of an EU-Iceland Security and Defence Partnership takes our relationship to the next level.

This will deepen our cooperation in areas that matter for the safety of our citizens, from maritime security to the protection of critical infrastructure.

This is a win for the EU and for Iceland.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Great to welcome @KristrunFrosta in Brussels.

Our 🇪🇺🇮🇸-partnership offers stability and predictability in a volatile world.

We discussed our close economic cooperation.

And we also talked about security in the Arctic and throughout the North Atlantic.

I'm looking forward to continue our work on our ever-closer friendship.

Remembering this data, especially in eastern regions, is important to counter Russian claims that Ukrainian citizens in the east have always yearned to be part of Russia.

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

On this day in 1991, more than 90% of Ukrainians chose independence.

The clear majority answered “Yes” to confirm the Act of Declaration of Independence of Ukraine in all the regions, including in the east and Crimea.

It was a long-awaited choice to live in a free, independent and sovereign state.

Today, Ukraine remains united and resolute in the face of Russia’s full-scale war.

We stay committed to defending our homeland, preserving our freedom and protecting our people.

Grateful for continued support of our partners as we work together to restore a just peace and stability for Ukraine and the entire rules-based international order.

🔥War has reached Tuapse! The city is on fire

Drones struck the Rosneft terminal. The hit targeted Russia’s main deep-water oil export pier, used to ship millions of tons of fuel to Asian markets.

A tanker was also damaged.

After the strike, a massive fire broke out in the city, and firefighters struggled for hours to contain it 🚨

Budapest? Not everyone may remember this, but in 1994 Ukraine already got assurances of territorial integrity from the US, Russia and the UK. In Budapest. Maybe I’m superstitious, but this time I would try to find another place.

[Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya @Tsihanouskaya]

My husband Siarhei is free! It’s hard to describe the joy in my heart.

Thank you, 🇺🇸 @POTUS, @SPE_Kellogg, @JohnPCoale, DAS Christopher W. Smith, @StateDept & our 🇪🇺 allies, for all your efforts.

We’re not done. 1150 political prisoners remain behind bars. All must be released.

[Radosław Sikorski 🇵🇱🇪🇺 @sikorskiradek]

See, big man, politics is harder than you thought.

[СБ України @ServiceSsu]

СБУ провела нову унікальну спецоперацію і втретє вразила Кримський міст — цього разу під водою!

Операція тривала декілька місяців. Агенти СБУ замінували опори цього незаконного об’єкта.

Russians could always just go home.

It’s the fastest way to end the war.

Here you go “Latinos for Trump”
This is what you voted for.

"We're not looking to make sneakers and t shirts. We want to make military equipment.” - Trump

Does anyone want to tell Donald that the U.S. produces more military equipment annually than *the rest of the world combined?*

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

The Russians were using their strategic bombers to fire cruise missiles and other weapons into Ukrainian cities. The bombers were very legitimate targets. Russia bombs cities. Ukraine bombs military targets.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Ukraine attacks military targets. Putin kills civilians.

So excited to visit beautiful Tallinn 🇪🇪 to sign the agreement on EEA Grants, and of course to try the home made cold-smoked salmon made by ambassador Marius Dirdal 👨🏻‍🍳🇳🇴
