My condolences to Senator Lindsey Graham’s family and loved ones. Senator Graham fought until the very end to support Ukraine’s fight for freedom and raise the cost of Russia’s war of aggression. He worked tirelessly to strengthen sanctions, in close coordination with the EU.

Me entristecen las noticias que llegan de Almería y de otras regiones de España. Nuestros pensamientos están con las víctimas de estos incendios forestales y con sus familias. Todo nuestro apoyo a España y a los valientes bomberos y socorristas que están haciendo frente a esta

Today, we are presenting a new sanctions regime against migrant smugglers and traffickers. We all have a common goal. To drive them out of business. And to save the lives of thousands of people who dream of a better life. We in Europe must be the ones to decide who comes to us

In a more dangerous world, the EU–NATO partnership is more important than ever. European states are investing heavily in their defence. Building stronger, combat-ready, interoperable forces. Strengthening Europe's defence industry. And delivering greater security, better jobs

Finland stands strong. As we ramp up our collective capabilities, your country is leading the way, dear @alexstubb. From military strength to tech savviness. And preparedness across the board. From the Baltic to the Arctic, Finland makes Europe stronger.

Dear Volodymyr @ZelenskyyUa, it is good to see you in Ankara. Here, we are discussing the future of defence. And Ukraine has a great deal to contribute. This month, we have provided the first €4 billion of our drone package to further strengthen Ukraine's drone capabilities.

In Ankara today with @NATO allies. We've entered a new era of European security. EU Member States are rearming to defend Europe and, at the same time, strengthen the Alliance. They are doubling down on their defence spending. Europe is re-energising its defence industrial

Alors que des incendies ravagent le sud de la France, l'Europe se mobilise. Nous avons déployé quatre avions bombardiers d'eau de notre flotte RescEU. Ils arriveront aujourd'hui même depuis Chypre et la Suède pour renforcer les pompiers français autour de Perpignan. L'Europe

Last night, the Russian regime once again blindly attacked civilians from the air, with over 400 drones and missiles attacking the capital. Ukraine urgently needs more air defence. We will discuss it this week in Ankara at the @NATO Summit. Last week we provided the first €4
