At our annual #EasternPartnership ministerial, I suggest to continue our #EaP policy in parallel to the enlargement process, as vehicle for regional cooperation. We should step up work on security & defence and continue engagement for a secure, stable & prosperous South Caucasus.

Russia‘s war of aggression against Ukraine has brought war back to Europe. Today, we look at a very different Eastern neighbourhood.
We heard the call for more EU presence and integration & the #EasternPartnership to be adjusted to challenges and differentiated needs of partners

A year after launching #GlobalGateway, we held the first board meeting today
Implementation has been advancing but now we need to accelerate mobilisation of our resources as #TeamEurope
2023 will be a credibility test for the EU as a global power. Let’s deliver on it, together.

Data from @EUDefenceAgency show Europeans are spending more on defence. Now we must also spend better and cooperate more. To support Ukraine, address urgent needs, and prepare for the future. My new blog post on #EUDefence:

The return of power politics has escalated into a large-scale open war at our borders
Europe has to take more responsibility for its own security
@EUDefenceAgency plays key role in this, also by helping increase European defence capabilities

After food and hunger, Putin now decided to weaponize the winter.
He wants to disrupt electricity, heating, and water supplies for millions of civilians across #Ukraine.
We are responding with the 9th package of sanctions against those who are instrumental in this brutal war.
