Dear @ZelenskyyUa, I am heartbroken at the news of the senseless and indiscriminate attack that Russia has carried out in Dnipro.
My sincere condolences to the victims’ families and loved ones, and to the people of Ukraine.
Together with our allies, we must do everything in our power to mount pressure on the aggressor.
This is why strengthening our support for Ukraine will be high on my agenda in Montréal.
And tomorrow, @EU_Commission will put forward a proposal to allocate the remaining €45 billion of the Ukraine Support Loan for 2027 defence needs and budget support.

How is Donald Trump’s criticism of President Zelensky interpreted in Moscow? “Moscow perceives these words as a mandate to continue military pressure,” writes one Russian paper. I ask Muscovites to name one word that’s important to them, & read what Russian schoolkids are taught about “defence of the Motherland.” #ReadingRussia

We all want clean water, healthy rivers and confidence that our bills support a service we can trust.
Baggy Shanker MP asked Ministers to explore mutual ownership of water companies, giving communities more say over a service we all depend on.

What’s the secret sauce for happy scientists at work? These eight countries offer some clues
The country with the happiest scientists, of those with more than 100 respondents, was Canada. The least satisfied cohort was in China, although they are the most likely to say that their career prospects are better than those of previous generations.
