I met with the defence ministers of France, Germany, Italy, Poland and the United Kingdom in Paris today for talks on support for Ukraine, European defence and the conflicts in the Middle East. There is a new diplomatic push for peace in Ukraine, but Putin's actions tell a different story. In recent days, Russia has again launched heavy attacks on Kyiv and sunk civilian ships in the Black Sea. There is little hope for imminent peace in Ukraine. Our task is to help Ukraine withstand the attacks and increase the costs for Russia. This month, the EU has adopted the largest sanctions listings against Russia since the war started, and more are in the works.

More than 400 civilians are killed or injured every week in Ukraine. Russia's war has left Ukrainian cities in ruins and lives shattered. In October, the EU adopted its largest set of sanctions listings to date, targeting companies and CEOs linked to Russia's war effort. Learn more about EU sanctions: link.europa.eu/Rv7GjP

The idea of all nations coming together to protect people from war and injustice is radical. And it works. On this @UN Day, let's remember all the lives saved and improved through multilateralism – and all those who still need our support. Let us not give up on that idea.

And delivering life-saving aid to people facing war, disaster & displacement. Today, the United Nations is needed more than ever.

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.

Yemen is one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises. 22 million people need assistance, 5.2 million are displaced, and over 2.2 million children under five suffer from acute malnutrition. The EU is stepping up with €22.5 million in new humanitarian funding.

The 2026 Sakharov Prize has been awarded to the @IntlCrimCourt and its officials, for its important work in upholding international law and justice. The Court must remain able to pursue justice independently, free from pressure or intimidation. The European Council has expressed its deep regret over the U.S. announcement to impose sanctions against the #ICC and has urged to reverse them. 🇪🇺⚖️ @EUatCoE @EU_UNGeneva @EUatUN @Europarl_EN
EU Member States are serious about protecting the @IntlCrimCourt and a world governed by international law. In The Hague, I met ICC President Tomoko Akane to convey the EU’s strong support for the Court, its judges, and their work. The European Council has expressed its deep regret over the U.S. announcement to impose sanctions against the ICC and has urged to reverse them. The EU will use the next six months for dialogue, to find a solution and explore what more we can do to help the Court. The Sakharov Prize recognises the ICC’s vital work in giving victims of the gravest crimes a voice. The Court must remain able to pursue justice independently, free from pressure or intimidation.

The EU stands in full solidarity with Romania following this morning’s attack on a vessel off its coast. I express my sincere solidarity with the victims’ families and extend my heartfelt condolences. I commend the Romanian Coast Guard for its ongoing search-and-rescue efforts. Attacks off the coasts of EU Member States in the Black Sea are increasing as a consequence of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. Such attacks are unacceptable and must stop. The EU is united in its opposition to Russia’s illegal war of aggression against Ukraine and its escalating hybrid campaigns.

Deeply alarmed by yet another Russian escalation in the Black Sea. A civilian vessel carrying Ukrainian and Azerbaijani crew has been struck off the coast of Romania. These reckless attacks target innocent lives and openly defy international law. My thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the sailor that was killed. And with the families of the three crew members still missing. My gratitude goes to the rescue teams working tirelessly to find them.

This award sends a powerful message to the world: Europe stands firmly behind international law, the fight against impunity, and accountability for the most serious international crimes.

Russia’s intensifying attacks on Black Sea shipping are a threat to regional and global food security. I discussed this with Romania’s new Foreign Minister @DanNeculaescu, alongside NATO’s strengthened regional posture and the urgent need to get the Black Sea Maritime Security Hub operational. I also raised the vital role of Solidarity Lanes in bringing Ukrainian grain to world markets. I look forward to working together to support Ukraine and Moldova and make Europe stronger.
A Foreign Affairs Council that delivers more means a stronger EU and a stronger Romania. Good exchange today with High Representative @kajakallas, including on Black Sea security. A swiftly operational Black Sea Maritime Security Hub is essential. Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova remain strategic priorities. 🇷🇴🇪🇺
