1000 days of aggression against Ukraine. 1000 days of sacrifice and suffering. But also 1000 days of bravery and courage. Dear Ukrainian friends, the EU is on your side. We are determined to support you as long as it takes.
The world is on a knife edge. Rule of force replacing rule of law. Threatening all of us. The world is and will remain multipolar. We need a robust and effective multilateral system. With rules set together. And put into action together. Speech at G20: europa.eu/!6kgfQC
In Rio de Janeiro for the G20 Summit. We want to fight inequalities and build a fairer, more sustainable planet. Let’s show solidarity rather than selfishness, ambition rather than resignation.
Arrived in Laos to represent the EU at the East Asia Summit, highlighting our role as the region's second-largest investor and key partner in trade and development. #ASEAN and the EU are successful examples of regional integration and cooperation. #ASEANSummit

Félicitations à Michel Barnier. L’Europe a grandement bénéficié de son sens de l’écoute, du respect, et de la transparence dans la négociation. Je lui souhaite plein succès maintenant qu’il mettra une nouvelle fois ses qualités au service de la France.
Inspiring visits to the Abrahamic Family House and Louvre Abu Dhabi. A moment to celebrate the commitment to peace, religious harmony and the common aspirations reflected in our global cultural heritage. A timely reminder of the need for tolerance and mutual understanding. We are one humankind.

Today we once again reaffirm our steadfast support for Moldova's sovereignty and territorial integrity. We commend Moldova for its significant strides in modernisation, comprehensive reforms, building resilience against external pressures and hybrid threats. Moldova's future lies within the EU.
Standing together and strong — united around the principles of peace, security and prosperity. #EuropeanPoliticalCommunity
Thank you PM Keir Starmer for hosting us at the beautiful and historic Blenheim Palace. A new phase of the EU-UK relationship starts, working together to defend our shared values. This is the greatest challenge we all now face. #EuropeanPoliticalCommunity
Congratulations Roberta Metsola on your re-election as EP President. The European Council is committed to continue working together with the European Parliament for a stronger European Union for our citizens.
Political violence is absolutely unacceptable in a democracy. I strongly condemn the attack on former President Donald Trump.
Welcome to Brussels, Prime Minister Dick Schoof. A good occasion to coordinate on the challenges ahead, our EU sovereignty, competitiveness, and security. Looking forward to working together for unity and EU’s place in the world.
The EU rotating presidency has no mandate to engage with Russia on behalf of the EU. The European Council is clear: Russia is the aggressor, Ukraine is the victim. No discussions about Ukraine can take place without Ukraine.
The European Council elects António Costa as the new President of the European Council.
