Russian attacks on civilian ships in the Black Sea are unjustifiable and pile heavy pressure on global food supplies.
The latest deadly drone strike on a cargo ship near Romanian waters is another escalation.
Romania’s Foreign Minister @DanNeculaescu and I spoke yesterday about the deteriorating regional security situation and we remain in close contact.

The #EUCO meeting has started!
Welcoming @EP_President Roberta Metsola to take stock of progress on our “One Europe, One Market” agenda.
We are turning commitments into action. We need to maintain our ambition and move faster.
To deliver more jobs, stronger businesses and better lives for Europeans.

The 7 October attacks were a barbaric act of terror. Today, we stand with Israel in remembering every life taken and destroyed at the hands of the Hamas terrorists.
Our thoughts are with the victims, the survivors, their families and all those who continue to carry the pain of that terrible day.
We must firmly reject any form of antisemitism across Europe. Jewish communities must be able to live openly, safely and without fear.
Hamas brought unspeakable suffering to the Israeli people and left devastation in its wake. Hamas must disarm so that the Gaza Peace Plan to move forward.

Europe faces a fast-proliferation of sabotage attacks and airspace violations.
Moscow is trying to scare Europe into winding down its support for Ukraine.
As Russia is willing to take greater risks, Europe must impose greater costs.
There are many ways to do that: stronger action against Russia’s shadow fleet and tougher measures targeting its military-industrial complex.

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.

An honour to attend the reception and dinner hosted by President Tharman Shanmugaratnam for delegates of the IISS Shangri-La Dialogue.
EEAS Secretary-General Belén Martínez Carbonell, Lt Gen Enrico Barduani and EU Ambassador Artis Bērtulis exchanged views with the President on the European Union’s growing engagement in the Indo-Pacific and its deepening partnership with Singapore and the ASEAN region.
As we look ahead to 2027 – and the 50th anniversary of EU-ASEAN dialogue relations under Singapore’s ASEAN Chairship – we are stepping up cooperation beyond our already strong trade and investment ties, including in the realm of security.
The EU-Singapore partnership is built on trust, resilience and a shared commitment to regional stability and prosperity.

The way to end this war is to confront Moscow, not reward it. Not to loosen sanctions, but to harden them.
The 20th sanctions package is ready to go. We will tighten the net further, especially around Russia’s shadow fleet. And we must also deliver the €90-billion-loan.

Bucha has come to symbolise the cruelty of Russia’s war.
Of the civilians killed, many were shot at close range. Some with their hands tied behind their backs.
Four years after these mass killings, we remember the victims.
What happened here cannot be denied.
The EU is committed to ensuring that these crimes do not go unpunished, including by supporting the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression, alongside the Claims Commission.
Russia must be held accountable for what it has done to Ukraine.

The EU supports its citizens in times of crisis. So far, 4,100 citizens have been evacuated from the region.
Thanks to #rescEU, 356 🇪🇺 travellers stranded in UAE & Oman have safely returned home.
@BergerLucie and @EUintheUAE staff were on the ground supporting this operation.

Iran’s attacks of a number of countries in the Middle East are inexcusable.
The events must not lead to further escalation that could threaten the region, Europe and beyond, with unpredictable consequences.
We are taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety of EU citizens in the region.
The EU expresses its solidarity with partners that have been attacked or affected. We will continue to contribute to all diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions and bring about a lasting solution to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

Just spoke to @MohamedBinZayed of the United Arab Emirates.
I conveyed our full support and extended our condolences following Iran’s strikes and the resulting casualties.
Europe strongly condemns these unjustifiable attacks.
These attacks constitute a blatant violation of the UAE’s sovereignty and a clear breach of international law.
And it is not the first time the UAE has faced missile and drone attacks from Iran and its proxies.
Europe stands in full solidarity with partners across the region.
I will continue my outreach to important regional partners.
